Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The main function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph curcuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures, such as waving and hand-shaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantages. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based on speech. Radio, television, and telephone are only a few.
Question 36: What does the author say about speech?
A. That it is the only true form of communication.
B. That it is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.
C. That it is necessary for communication to occur.
D. That it is the most advanced form of communication.
Question 37: Applauding was cited as an example of_____.
A. A sign B. A signal C. A symbol D. A gesture
Question 38: It may be concluded from this passage that_____.
A. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures are forms of communication.
B. Symbols are very easy to define and interpret.
C. Only some cultures have signals and symbols,
D. Waving and handshaking are not related to culture.
Question 39: The word curcuit in line 4 is closest meaning to ____.
A. Hand B. Letter C. Email D. Round
Question 40: Find the word in the passage that means “support”.
A. Convey B. Cultural C. Approval D. Useful
Question 41: From the passage, we all know that waving hand to say good bye is a____.
A. Signal B. Symbol C. Gesture D. Sign
Question 42: All of the following are true EXCEPT_____.
A. Signals, symbols, signs and gestures are found in every culture.

MODERN SURGERY

The need for a surgical operation , especially an emergency operation, almost always comes as a severe shock to the patient and his family. Despite modern advances, most people still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anesthetics. Patients do not often believe they really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.
In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves required. Clogged blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced. A lung, the whole stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry out every type of modern operation. The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety has increased too. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as a week for most major operation.
Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the replacement of damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations. All theses things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.
One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until a few years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. recently, however, it has been discovered that with the use of X-ray and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidney’s have been successfully transplanted between non- identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be solved.
“Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new ones, is still a dream of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate ”.

A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery
B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous

D. unless it is an emergency operation

A. his brain

C. are obliged to specialize more than their predecessors
