Part 2: The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Underline the mistakes and write the correct forms in the
corresponding numbered boxes.

1 People appear to bear to compute. The numerical skills of children develop so early and
2 so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical mature guiding
3 their growth. No long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with
4 impressive accuracy – one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for all of the five chairs.
5 Soon they are capable of nothing that they have placed five knives, spoons, and forks on
6 the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus
7 mastering addition, they move on to subtraction. It seems most reasonable to expect that
8 if a child were secluded on a desert island in birth and retrieved seven years later, he or
9 she could enter a second-grade mathematics class without some serious problems of
10 intellectual adjustment.
11 Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists
12 has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on that intellectual progress depends.
13 Children were observed as they slow grasped or, as the case might be, bumped into –
14 concepts that adults take for granted, as they refuse, for instance, to concede that quantity

Part 3. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Ancient Egyptian Sculpture
In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view
of the world and the functions and contexts of the formal art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can
appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to understand why it was produced or the
concepts that shaped it and caused it to adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning
the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures: Why did
the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek
statuary? Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not discover the geometric
perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance? The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a
lack of skill or imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the purposes for which they
were producing their art.
The majority of three-dimensional representations, whether standing, seated, or kneeling, exhibit what is called
frontality: they face straight ahead, neither twisting nor turning. When such statues are viewed in isolation, out
of their original context and without knowledge of their function, it is easy to criticize them for their rigid
attitudes that remained unchanged for three thousand years. Frontality is, however, directly related to the
functions of Egyptian statuary and the contexts in which the statues were set up. Statues were created not for
their decorative effect but to play a primary role in the cults of the gods, the king, and the dead. They were
designed to be put in places where these beings could manifest themselves in order to be the recipients of ritual
actions. Thus it made sense to show the statue looking ahead at what was happening in front of it, so that the
living performer of the ritual could interact with the divine or deceased recipient. Very often such statues were

ĐTQG18.19/V1 3|Page
enclosed in rectangular shrines or wall niches whose only opening was at the front, making it natural for the
statue to display frontality. Other statues were designed to be placed within an architectural setting, for
instance, in front of the monumental entrance gateways to temples known as pylons, or in pillared courts, where
they would be placed against or between pillars: their frontality worked perfectly within the architectural
context.
Statues were normally made of stone, wood, or metal. Stone statues were worked from single rectangular blocks
of material and retained the compactness of the original shape. The stone between the arms and the body and
between the legs In standing figures or the legs and the seat in seated ones was not normally cut away. From a
practical aspect this protected the figures against breakage and psychologically gives the images a sense of
strength and power, usually enhanced by a supporting back pillar. By contrast, wooden statues were carved
from several pieces of wood that were pegged together to form the finished work, and metal statues were either
made by wrapping sheet metal around a wooden core or cast by the lost wax process'. The arms could be held
away from the body and carry separate items in their hands; there is no back pillar. The effect is altogether
lighter and freer than that achieved in stone, but because both perform the same function, formal wooden and
metal statues still display frontality.

Part 4. For questions 1-10, read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.
Choose the correct headings for paragraphs A-F from the list of headings below. Write your answers in
the corresponding numbered boxes.
A The health benefit of legumes has been widely known for centuries. Also known as pulses or, more
commonly, beans, they belong to an extremely large category of vegetables, containing over 13,000 species.
Only grains supply more calories and protein to the world’s population. Today, agricultural researchers and
scientists are experimenting with varieties of legumes easier to harvest, more resistant to disease, and yield
better crops.
B Beans are often referred to as “the poor person’s meat”, but this label is unfair – considering the health
benefits of legumes, they should really be called “the healthy alternative to meat”. Beans contain a rich and
varied supply of nutritional substances, which are vital for keeping in good health. Diets rich in beans are used
to help with a variety of health issues including lowering cholesterol levels, improving blood sugar control in
diabetics, reducing the risk of many cancers, lowering the risk of heart disease, and lowering blood pressure.
Beans are a good source of protein but are often considered to be an “incomplete” protein as they lack the
essential amino acids that we need to complete our diet. Foods from animals, on the other hand, contain protein
and amino acids. However, many cultures combine beans with grains to form a complete protein that is a high-
quality substitute for meat – rice and soya in Japan, corn and beans in Mexico, rice and lentils in the Middle
East. Beans are also a good source of fiber, giving the consumer between 5 and 8.6 grams of fiber per 100
grams eaten. Fiber is an important ingredient in a healthy diet with great benefits to our digestive system and in
reducing cholesterol levels, which in turn reduces our risk of heart disease. Fiber also helps us to feel full and
control our appetite.
C Why is it important to substitute meat as much as possible? First of all, because of the health
implications – red meat in particular has a high-fat content. Secondly, antibiotics and other chemicals are used
in the raising of poultry and cattle. Thirdly, the cost to the environment is much greater in raising cattle than it is
in growing crops. To produce a kilogram of beef, farmers need to feed to cow 15 kilograms of grain and a
further 30 kilograms of forage.
D Little wonder then that legumes have been used from ancient times. According to Trevor Brice in Life
and Society in the Hittite World, the Hittites, an ancient people living in Anatolia from the eighteenth century
BC, ate a wide variety of legumes including peas, beans, faba beans, chickpeas, and lentils. And in ancient
ĐTQG18.19/V1 5|Page
Egypt, Ramses II is known to have offered 11,998 jars of beans to the god of the Nile. Archaeologists have
found the remains of legumes on land beneath Lake Assad in Syria dating back to 8000BC and astonishingly, a
4,000-year-old lentil seed found during an excavation in Turkey has been germinated, allowing scientists to
compare the ancient variety with the organic and genetically engineered varieties of today. Professor Nejat
Bilgen from Dumlupinar University, who led the archaeological team, said that the lentils were found in a
container dating from the Bronze Age. The plant grown from the ancient lentil was found to be “pretty weak” in
comparison with modern varieties.
E Modern agricultural research has tended to focus on grain production, breeding new varieties of wheat
and other crops rather than improving the varieties of legumes, which can suffer from low yields and unstable
harvests. For this reason, farmers started to abandon them in favor of more dependable crops, which had had the
benefits of scientific improvement. Recently, scientists have returned to legumes to identify desirable
characteristics such as height, good crop production, and resistance to pests in order to cross different plants
with each other and produce a new, improved variety. Using pests in order to cross different plants with each
other and produce a new, improved variety. Using traditional breeding methods, agricultural scientists are
transforming the faba bean into a variety that is easier to grow. Traditional varieties are undependable as they
rely on insects to pollinate them. But faba bean types that can self-fertilize naturally were discovered, and this
gene is being bred into new varieties. Other faba bean varieties have been found to produce higher yields or
shorter crops. Faba bean plants end in a lower – this means that more of the plant’s energy is transformed into
producing beans instead of unusable foliage,
F With the new varieties, farmers in some regions are achieving a marked rise in production – between
10% to 20% improvement. Scientists have also managed to develop a commercial faba bean able to resist the
parasitic weed Orobanche, which has been known to destroy whole fields of the crop. The future of legumes
and the farmers who grow them is becoming brighter. Legumes are an important source of nourishment for
humans and also for the soil: the beans take nitrogen directly from the atmosphere and fix it into the soil to
provide nutrients for other crops and save the farmers the cost of artificial fertilizer. Making legumes a
profitable crop for the future may prove an essential factor in feeding growing populations.

THE BOOK IS DEAD - LONG LIVE THE BOOK

(A) A lot of ink has been spilled on the supposed demise of the printed word. Ebooks are outselling paper
books. Newspapers are dying. To quote one expert: 'The days of the codex as the primary carrier of information
are almost over.' This has inspired a lot of hand-wringing from publishers, librarians, archivists - and me, a
writer and lifelong bibliophile who grew up surrounded by paper books. I've been blogging since high school,
I'm addicted to my smartphone and, in theory, I should be on board with the digital revolution - but when
ĐTQG18.19/V1 7|Page
people mourn the loss of paper books, I sympathise. Are printed books really going the way of the dodo? And
what would we lose if they did? Some commentators think the rumours of the printed world's imminent demise
have been rather overstated. Printed books will live on as art objects and collector's items, they argue, rather in
the way of vinyl records. People may start buying all their beach novels and periodicals in ebook formats and
curating their physical bookshelves more carefully. It is not about the medium, they say, it is about people. As
long as there are those who care about books and don't know why, there will be books. It's that simple.

(B) Meanwhile artists are blending print with technology. Between Page and Screen by Amaranth Borsuk and
Brad Bouse is a paper book that can be read only on a computer. Instead of words, every page has a geometric
pattern. If you hold so a printed page up to a webcam, while visiting the book's related website, your screen
displays the text of the story streaming, spinning and leaping off the page. Printed books may need to become
more multi-faceted. incorporating video, music and interactivity. A group at the MIT Media Lab already builds
electronic pop-up books with glowing LEDs that brighten and dim as you pull paper tabs. and authors have
been pushing the boundaries with 'augmented reality' books for years. The lines between print and digital books
are blurring,and interesting things are happening at the interface.

(C).Beyond the page, ebooks may someday transform how we read. We are used to being alone with our
thoughts inside a book but what if we could invite friends or favourite authors to join in? A web tool called
SocialBookBook offers a way to make the experience of reading more collaborative. Readers highlight and
comment on text, and can see and respond to comments that others have left in the same book. 'When you put
text into a dynamic network, a book becomes a place where readers and sometimes authors can congregate in
the margin,' said Bob Stein, founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book. a think tank in New York. Stein
showed how a high-school class is using SocialBook to read and discuss Don Quixote, how an author could use
it to connect with readers. and how he and his collaborators have started using it instead of email. Readers can
100 open their books to anyone they want, from close friends to intellectual heroes. 'For us, SocialBook is not a
pizza topping. It's not an add-on,' Stein says. 'It's the foundational cornerstone of reading and writing going forth
into the future.

(D).The tools might be new, but the goal of SocialBook is hardly radical. Books have found ways to be nodes of
human connection ever since their inception. That's why reading a dog-eared volume painstakingly annotated
with thoughts and impressions is unfailingly delightful - akin to making a new like-minded acquaintance. The
MIT Rare i20 Books collection has kept a copy of John Stuart Mill's 1848 book Principles of Political

ĐTQG18.19/V1 8|Page
 Economy, not for its content but for the lines and lines of tiny comments a passionate but unknown user
scrawled in the margins. Maybe ebooks are taking us where print was trying to go all along.
