Part C: Reading Comprehension

Directions: In this part of the test you will read two passages. Each passage is followed by four questions. Answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark your answer sheet.

PASSAGE 1:

Throughout history, the difference between the old the young has been a defining feature of both reality and literature. Parents have power over their children …. but as those children get older, they begin to put pressure on their parents’ power. They test the rules; they rebel: they create their own rules. The parents are puzzled, disappointed and angry about the shift in the balance of power. They fight back; try to control their young sons and daughters in an attempt to maintain their power. But as they grow towards old age, they are forced to relinquish it and hold their hand up, while the world changes into a place they can hardly recognize from their youth.

The fight between old and young has also become a feature of the twenty – first century, as we approach a period where the balance of power reaches a new territory. This is not to say that relationships between the generations are expected to worsen; rather that the new demographic changes to come will have knock – on effects that we cannot yet imagine.

۹۳- According to the passage, the between the old and the young ……………….

۱) is not a new story in human life

۲) has changed in favor of the old

۳) has become less and less over the years

۴) has become wider in the twenty- first century

Answer option: 1

۹۴- Parents’ reaction towards the change of power balance, as described in paragraph 1, can be described as all of the following EXCEPT …………

۱) hopelessness

۲) confusion

۳) anxiety

۴) anger

Answer option: 3

۹۵- The word “relinquish” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to……………

۱) retake

۲) leave

۳) enhance

۴) follow

Answer option: 2

۹۶- Which of the following best describes the function of “This is not to say” in paragraph 2?

۱) To make a logical conclusion

۲) To repeat an earlier statement

۳) To introduce a new topic for discussion

۴) To prevent a probable misunderstanding

Answer option: 4

PASSAGE 2:

When we take part in an online class, where are our bodies? Our physical bodies are positioned in front of our computers, but our virtual bodies can be anywhere imagined.

We indeed use this separation between the physical and virtual body when we talk on the telephone. I would disagree with Dreyfus that this split makes us anonymous, because in the online class our responses are always posted with our names attached.

But the fact that we have no physical presence, Dreyfus argues, means that any learning that occurs can only be intellectual, not practical. In other words, it is more on a theoretical level than involving a grasping and mastery of particular skills.

He thinks that true learning can only take place from physically being somewhere and doing a particular activity, and it is only under these conditions that information becomes relevant and people come to meaningfully understand reality.

But if this is true, how can anyone learn anything from a book, newspaper, television, radio, a letter, ore – mail? Is not the expression of the content more important than the medium through which it is expressed?

۹۷- Which of the following is implied in the passage about the author’s opinion about online classes?

۱) They will never ever be accepted in educational circles.

۲) They are useful devices to employ for teaching and learning.

۳) They are more helpful for teaching practical skills than theoretical ideas.

۴) There would come a time when they will replace physical classes altogether.

Answer option: 2

۹۸- The word “it” in the passage refers to ……..

۱) intellectual learning

۲) physical presence

۳) online class

۴) learning

Answer option: 4

۹۹- Why has the author mentioned “a book, newspaper, television, radio, a letter, or e- mail” near the end of the passage?

۱) To question a claim made by Dreyfus

۲) To refer that to different ways of learning

۳) To argue that technological progress is unavoidable

۴) To make the reader remember that people have different learning preferences

Answer option: 1

۱۰۰- There is enough information in the passage to answer which of the following questions?

۱) What are some of the practical skills that are learned best through the medium of physical classes?

۲) Why do we use the separation between the physical and virtual body when we talk on the telephone?

۳) Why does the author believe that the separation between the physical and virtual body does not make us anonymous?

۴) How is it that the author believes the expression of the content is more important than the medium though which it is expressed?

Answer option: 3
