VI. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. (1.25 pts)
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we would probably have to say that we
could not remember. But if we kept a book and wrote in it an account of what we did each day, we
should be able to give an answer. In a way, this is similar to history.
Most people are proud to tell you what their ancestors did in the past. We may call this
remembered history. But many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written
account of them. Sometimes people kept a record of the most important happenings in their
country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written
record because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know
a lot about the people who lived in China about 2,500 years ago because they could write and leave
written records for those who lived after them. But we know little about the people who lived just
200 years ago in central Africa, because they had no writing system.
Sometimes, even if people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard
about it from older people, and often songs, dances, and stories have been made about the most
important past events, and these have been sung about, acted and told for generations.
25. “Remembered history" in the passage may refer to __________________.
A. history based on a person’s imagination
B. record of important happenings destroyed by fire or in a war
C. stories of important happenings passed down to younger generations
D. songs, dances, and stories about all events in our everyday lives
26. The underlined word “account” in the passage mostly means.
A. amount B. report C. happening D. question
27. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because __________________.
A. there was nothing to write down at that time
B. the people there did not keep a record
C. the written records were destroyed by a fire
D. the people there did not have a writing system
28. The underlined word "they” in the passage refers to __________________.
A. people who cannot write B. older people
C. songs, dances, and stories D. the most important happenings
29. We can infer from the passage that we could know more about our past if our ancestors had
_____.
A. kept written records of past events B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told more stories D. made more songs and dances
VII. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct

IX. Read the passage, then choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D)
Last year I went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. I think it's important to see as much of a
country as you can, but it is difficult to travel around Nepal. The hospital let me have a few days’ holiday, so
I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning and left camp with two elephants carrying our
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle,
there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the
elephants' backs to get a better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the
heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept nearer and found a dead
deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus
and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal’s throat. It grabbed
Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and
made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was
impossible to sleep!
