Dear Fred,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother
was ill. For your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not
seem to think. The illness was very serious, the news of your mother's death came to
me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your
sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother
and loved her so truly.
I feel it also as a personal loss to myself for your mother was always very kind to
me. I admired her a good and noble woman. Her death must be a terrible grief to your
father too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. "The heart knows its own sorrow", and in such
sorrows we are always alone.
However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jack

The text is for question no. 18 – 20.

Cancer cells come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA. Those mutations can occur
spontaneously. The mutations may be also induced by other factors such as: nuclear and
electromagnetic radiation, viruses, bacteria and fungi, parasites, heat, chemicals in the air, water and
food, mechanical cell-level injury, free radicals, evolution and ageing of DNA, etc. All such factors can
produce mutations that may start cancer.

Cancer cells are formed continuously in the organism. It is estimated that there are about 10,000
cancer cells at any given time in a healthy person. Why do some result in macroscopic-level cancers
and some do not? First, not all damaged cells can multiply and many of them die quickly. Second,
those which potentially divide and form cancer are effectively destroyed by the mechanisms available
to the immune system. Therefore cancer develops if the immune system is not working properly or
the amount of cells produced is too great for the immune system to eliminate.

(Simplified from:www.digital-recordings.com/publ/cancer.html)

A. How cancer is developed

A. If the immune system is working properly.
B. If someone eat arbitrarily.
C. If the cancer cells produced is too great to be eliminated by the immune system.

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the
amazing world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. The tree grows in equatorial regions,
especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit
about the size of a small pineapple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa
beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavor. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to
produce a distinctive mix.
Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean
from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The
liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao
beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is way the ground nibs form liquid.
It’s pure bitter chocolate.

21. The third paragraph focuses on…..


A. The process of producing chocolate
B. The chocolate liquor
C. How to produce the cocoa flavour
D. The cacao fruit
E. Where chocolate comes from

22. “…….., so they are often sorted and blended to produce…..” (Par. 3)

D. Organized
E. Separated

23. How does the chocolate maker start to make chocolate?

B. By sorting the beans
C. By roasting the beans
D. By drying the beans
E. By blending the beans

The following text is for question 24 to 27

Déjà vu is a French word which literally means ‘already seen’. It is the experience of felling sure that
one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances
of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined.

Déjà vu has to do with memory processes. There are portions of the brain that are specialized in the
past, the present and the future. In general, the frontal lobes are concerned with the future, the
temporal lobes are concerned with the past and the underlying, intermediate portions (the limbic
system) are concerned with the present. When these are all functioning, in normal states of
consciousness, the feeling that an event will happen, will only happen when we are thinking about
the future, worrying about it, anticipating it or ,making plans for it. The sense of the past will only come
up when our memories have been triggered another way.

At times, we can experience over-communication between our short and long-term memories and In
such instances, the present can seem like the past. When our perceptions from our present are
pushed through the sections of the brain that ordinarily deal with past memories, these perceptions
will seem like memories and we may feel as though we are re-living stored long-term memories.

In simple terms, we experience something in the present, compare it to similar experience in the past
and decide how we will respond. The time frame can be very brief; even a few seconds. Once in a
while, there can be too much communication between short and long-term memories. When this
happens, then the present can feel like the past.

24. What is déjà vu?


A. The feeling of know what will happen in the future.
B. The feeling of having faced the current situations.
C. The feeling of dealing with a memory in the past.
D. The feeling of having experience a certain dream.
E. The feeling of knowing what is going to happen.
25. Which part of the brain is concerned with the future?
A. The long-term memory.
B. The short-term memory.
C. The limbic system.
D. The temporal lobes.
E. The frontal lobes.
26. What my happen when there is cover-communication between the short and long-term
memories?
A. The response of the communication may be disturbed.
B. The ort-term memory may not function well.
C. The perceptions of the future may seem to be real.
D. The present situation may seem the past.
E. The memories of the past may affect the future.
27. “… even though the exact circumstance of the prior encounter are uncertain and ….”(Par. 1.)
What is the synonym of the underlined word?
A. Later.
B. Main.
C. Trivial.
D. Former.
E. Important.

Dear Fred,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother
was ill. For your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not
seem to think. The illness was very serious, the news of your mother's death came to
me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your
sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother
and loved her so truly.
I feel it also as a personal loss to myself for your mother was always very kind to
me. I admired her a good and noble woman. Her death must be a terrible grief to your

Words, I know, are poor comforters. "The heart knows its own sorrow", and in such
sorrows we are always alone.
However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jack
