fire was not very serious and the firemen were already putting it out. When they
left, my wife went up with the old lady to help her clean up the mess.
When she returned, my wife remarked : “It’s all right now. Nothing was
damaged except the water heater. But wasn’t it lucky that baby slept through the

INGGRIS- set 2

Mr. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called a meeting to find out the views of the community on local
government plants to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.
Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. K.Kazarin, the planning Officer of
the Raval Education Department. Mr. Kazarin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three
children at Malupit Community School. This was considered too high a number for one class under
one teacher; and too low a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two
teacher. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring
from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the
school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six
miles away
Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupi, asked what would happen about
transport to Raval. Mr.Kazarin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided
by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of
charge
Another parent, Mr.H.Wiley, expressed the fear of many parent that closing the local school would
mean that the children of Malupit would not grow up with the same sense of community as in the
past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval.
Mr. Kazarin replied that the Raval school were not very large, and that in any case, the children
would have to go to Raval later for education at high-school level.
The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe
that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit.
It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough
local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.
A final point was made by Mr.Colmar, a retired businessman, that without Malupit Community
School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs an organizations to hold their meetings.
Mr.Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 0’clock.

Questions 41-46
The next famous woman writer to be considered is Dorothy Parker, an American poet, short
story writer, and literacy critic who became famous in the early twentieth century for her
witty but cynical observations on life. She got her first paying job as a writer in 1916 at the
age of twenty-three when she began working for a women’s magazine, and nine years later
she became a contributor to The New Yorker and regularly had her book reviews appear in
“Constant Reader,” a column in that magazine.
In addition to her magazine work, she published volumes of poetry and short stories with the
recurrent themes of disappointment with life and the loss of idealism; these pessimistic
themes, however, were presented with biting wit. One of her most famous observations,
“Men seldom make passes/At girls who wear glasses,” came from the poem “News Item,”
which was published in the volume Enough Rope (1926). This volume of poetry was
followed by the Sunset Gun (1928), Death and Taxes (1931), and a collection of short stories,
Here Lies (1939). Her book reviews were published in 1970 in a volume entitled “Constant
Reader”.

Questions 49 to 50
IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is defined as the ratio of a person’s mental age to chronological
age, with the ratio multiplied by 100 to remove the decimal. Chronological age is easily
determined; mental age is generally measured by some kind of standard test and is not so
simple to define.
In theory, a standardized IQ t

est is set up to measure an individual’s ability to perform intellectual operations such as

reasoning and problem solving. These intellectual operations are considered to represent
intelligence.
In practice, it has been impossible to arrive at consensus as to which types of intellectual
operations demonstrate intelligence. Furthermore, it has been impossible to devise a test
without cultural bias, which is to say that any IQ tests so far proposed have been shown to
reflect the culture of the test markers. Test takers from that culture would, it follows, score
higher on such a test than the takers from a different culture with equal intelligence.
49. What type of information is included in the first paragraph?
A. An argument
B. A definition
C. An opinion
D. A theory
E. A myth
50. How does the information in the third paragraph differ from that in the second
paragraph?
A. It presents a contrasting point of view.
B. It follows chronologically from the ideas in the second paragraph.
C. It presents real information rather than a premise.
D. It presents an example of the ideas in the second paragraph.
E. It presents a theory.
