The Normans originally came from Scandinavia and
were of Viking descent. During the tenth century they
invaded and conquered the northern part of France,
which is still called Normandy. In the next century,
under William the Conqueror, they invaded and subdued
England. This event brought about the end of Saxon
England and saw the start of a new era of English
history, with new forms of architecture and a new form
of social and political order called the feudal system. It
is interesting to note that while William was conquering
England, other Norman chiefs sailed down the coast of
France and Spain, entered the Mediterranean Sea and
conquered Sicily and some parts of southern Italy.
Norman knights from France and Italy also played a
leading role in the Crusades.
43-It can be determined from the passage that………
……… .
A)for centuries, there was a war between the Normans
and Vikings

oppression of the Vikings

England, the Normans…………… .

Each year, about 7.000 people in the United States are
bitten by poisonous snakes. Fewer than a dozen of these
persons die, but many are left with disability of a limb
and scarring at the site of the bite. Persons at greatest
risk are those who handle snakes for purposes of
entertainment, religion or science. Outside the high-risk
group, hunters, farmers and fishermen are the most
likely to be bitten. The best way to tell the difference
between a poisonous and a non-poisonous bite is to
identify the snake. A non-poisonous bite doesn't usually
cause much pain or swelling, though the wound may
bleed freely. When there is any doubt as to whether the
snake is venomous, presume that the bite was poisonous
and take precautions.
46-According to the passage, the people who have
the highest chance of being bitten by a snake are
those who ………. .
A)hunt animals for sport or who deal with farming
B)try to catch snakes and put them in captivity
C)are unable to distinguish between different snakes
D)work directly with snakes or worship using them
E)are very religious and don't think they'll be bitten
47-The passage informs us that in the USA ……….. .
A)fewer than twelve people die of snakebites annually,
although many people are bitten
B)people who have been bitten by snakes get rid of its
effects
C)completely in the long term only twelve percent of
those who have been bitten by snakes lose their lives
D)farmers and fishermen are more likely to be bitten by
snakes than entertainers using snakes
B)many people bitten by snakes are too afraid to revisit
the place where it happened
48-The author suggests that if you have been bitten,
and haven't managed to identify the snake, ………
…. .
A)you shouldn't panic but should wait to see whether
the bitten area will swell or not
B)you should make the wound bleed in order to remove
any poison
C)you can assume you're not at risk if the bite doesn't
hurt a lot
D)it is doubtful that the snake that bit you was
venomous
E)you should be treated as if the snake was poisonous
The word 'politics' comes from the Latin politia,
meaning 'policy', and politics is generally defined as the
science or art of government. Politics has played ah
increasing part in human affairs since men and women
first organised themselves into societies, and most of
history is an account of politics in one form or another.
There were brief periods, of relatively free or
representative government during the Greek and Roman
eras. But until the seventeenth century, politics was
mostly the concern of powerful monarchs or other
people in positions of high authority, such as church
leaders. The rise of political parties during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries introduced the
concept of government by consent rather than by force.
49-In the writer's opinion, politics………….. .
A)has always been dominated by monarchs or religious
leaders
B)has had little effect on ordinary people since the
beginning of history
C)is really what a great deal of history is about

people
B)when people didn't have to give taxes to the
government
C)which were completely free from any kind of politics
D)when government members all came from the same,
royal family

by force
C)church leaders began to govern countries instead of
kings
D)the state of politics was a cause of great concern to
most leaders
E)a radical change in the concept of government began
to take place
Rubber trees are tapped - that is, cuts are made in the
bark so that the latex, a milk-like Juice, containing
about 30-40% rubber, can be obtained. The latex is then
processed by exposing it to heat and wood smoke, or by
mechanical means, so as to separate the rubber from the
'water, mineral salts, sugars, resins and protein matters.
The rubber obtained in this way is known as, 'crude' -
latex is extensively used in industry for making foam
rubber, products. footwear, dolls etc. Untreated crude
rubber is naturally soft and lacks the required strength
for making into manufactured articles. To improve its
strength and usefulness, it is vulcanised, or heated with
sulphur, and the proportion of sulphur used determines
the hardness and elasticity of, the rubber.
52-From its description, we can say that latex………
….
A)is a hard substance similar to rubber
B)must be a fairly thin, white liquid
C)is almost entirely pure rubber

rubber is not used in industry, because…….. .

E)it contains far too many impurities
54-In the process of vulcanisation, the principle is,
that………… .
A)the heat applied to the mixture should be high enough
for rapid evaporation
B)the sulphur contained in the rubber should be
extracted as much as possible
C)how hard or flexible the rubber becomes depends, on
its sulphur content
D)the more sulphur is used, the harder and the more
elastic the rubber becomes
E)the tubber can be separated from water by being
heated at high temperatures
The origins of a written literature can be found in most
of the civilisations of the ancient world; in India. China
and among the Jewish people, whose great work of
literature is the Old Testament of the Bible. However, it
is the Greeks whose literature is taken to represent the
start of Western literature. Their greatest single
contribution was drama, a form of literature that has
continued undiminished to the present day. Other
literary forms that developed from the time of the
ancient Greeks and Romans onward have been poetry in
its many different styles and forms, the essay, biography
and autobiography, and the novel. Other types of written
work from these periods, dealing with such matters as
history, philosophy, politics, religion, science and
