Questions 9 – 15 are based on the following passage.

The mysterious orchid picked up by two environmentalists deep in the jungles of

Cameron Highlands has turned out to be the rare Monomeria barbata – a first for Malaysia.
Embi Abdullah, 59, who stumbled 9 the orchid with his friend, said the Forest Research
Institute Malaysia (FRIM) had recently 10 the genus and species.

The orchid grows in cool weather 11 treetops some 1,600 metres to 2,000 metres
above sea level. This 12 an exciting breakthrough for Malaysia because the Monomeria has
never been found here before. “13 is also rarely found in the wild even in its countries of
origin because of ongoing development now,” said Embi, 14 has studied orchids for over 15
years.

According to a scientist from FRIM, Embi and his friend N. Madi were not the first to

years ago.

Questions 26 – 30
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

1 BARCELONA: “Hello … this is grandma calling!” An Austrian firm has

designed simple mobile phones for the elderly to stay connected. It could
be the answer to grandma’s prayers: a mobile phone designed
specifically for the over-65s that aims to take the fear out of technology
and get the elderly connected. 5

2 A small Austrian company shrugged off the buzz of innovation and

youth-oriented marketing at the 3GSM mobile phone trade show last
week and showcased a simple handset for the growing “grey market”.

3 “Our market research showed that the elderly have problems using
complicated phones,” said Reinhard Handlgruber, export manager for 10
Emporia Telecom, based in Linz.

4 What they want is a big screen, a big key pad and an easy to use
menu.”
5 Emporia carried out market research in rest homes and discovered
the demand for mobile or cell phones from the over-65s. 15

6 The handset they developed has no digital camera, Internet access or

instant messaging capabilities, but it does include a button to call
relatives or friends in an emergency, is compatible with hearing aids and
can run on regular AAA batteries.

7 “There are 110 million people over 65 in Europe and Russia and only 20
17% have mobile phones,” according to Handlgruber.

8 None of the mainstream handset manufacturers has launched an

oldies phone, but some appear to have recognised that enthusiasm for
these handsets is not shared by everyone.

9 Vodaphone recently teamed up with French manufacturer Sagem to 25

offer its “Vodaphone Simply” service of easy-to-use phones.

10 US manufacturer Motorola is launching its “Motofone” model

worldwide, an ultra low-cost handset aimed at users in the developing
world and those looking for basic handset in rich countries.

11 “In Europe, we found that it was the unconnected over-50s who have 30
never owned a mobile phone because it was too complicated and the
display was too small.”

12 Kim Heikkinen of Idem, a Finnish-based mobile phone design

consultancy, says that no major manufacturer has successfully
developed a phone for seniors who are bamboozled by mobile 35
technology.

1119/2 10
LTS 2007 SET 2 1119/2

13 Emporia has sold 50,000 handsets since August, export manager

Handlgruber claimed, and the group is currently expanding out of its core
Austrian and German market.

14 “I do feel there is a market for this kind of device,” said Gavin Byrne of 40
Infoma. “It is difficult to calculate the exact number, but the growth of
handset sales is slowing down in developed countries and it is the
question now of finding groups of people who are underserved. - AFP

32 Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow.

There’s Been a Death in the Opposite House

There’s been a death in the opposite house

As lately as today.
I know it by the numb look
Such houses have always.

The neighbors rustle and out,

The doctor drives away.
A window opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;

Somebody flings a mattress out,-

The children hurry by;
They wonder if It died on that,-
I used to as a boy.

The minister goes stiffly in

As if the house were his,
And he owned all the mourners now,
And little boys besides;

And then the milliner, and the man

Of the appalling trade,
To take the measure of the house.
There’ll be that dark parade

Of tassels and of coaches soon;

It’s easy as a sign,-
The intuition of the news
In just a country town.

Emily Dickinson
