        　　PASSAGE 3
        　　Promptness is important in American business, academic,
        　　and social settings. The importance of punctuality
        　　is taug_ ht to young children in school. Tardy slops and
        　　the use of bells sig_ nal to the child that punctuality and
        　　time itself are to be respected. People who keep
        　　appointments are considered dependable. If people are
        　　late to job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are
        　　often vie_ wed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business
        　　world, "time is money" and companies may fine
        　　their executives for tardiness to busi_ ness meetings.
        　　Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social
        　　and business etiquette also provides rules for late arrivals.
        　　Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than
        　　a few minute_ s late for schedule appointments is
        　　considered polite and is often ex_ pected. Keeping
        　　a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minute_ s is
        　　considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty
        　　minutes late to some parties is acceptable. Respecting
        　　deadlines is also important in academic and professional
        　　ci_ rcles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments
        　　or business reports will be met. Students who hand in
        　　assignments late may be surp_ rised to find that the
        　　professor will lower their grades or even refus_ e to
        　　grade their work. Whether it is a question of arriving
        　　on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally
        　　conditioned to regulate t_ ime.
        　　31. The best title for this passage is ________.
        　　A. Promptness
        　　B. Time
        　　C. Deadlines
        　　D. Etiquette
        　　32. In the United States the child who must go
        　　to bed early, be prompt at school, or bring a tardy slip if he is late_____
        　　A. is learning the importance of time and punctuality in his culture.
        　　B. Is learning to disobey his parents and teachers.
        　　C. Is being punished for disobeying his mother and school officials.
        　　D. Is being punished for playing too much.
        　　33. If a person is late for a business meeting, he may be _____
        　　A. criticized

        　　C. Regular timetable is important in every culture.
        　　D. Different cultures have different customs concerning time.
        　　PASSAGE 4
        　　Urban life has always involved a balancing
        　　of opportunities and rewards against dangers
        　　and stress; its motivating force is, in the
        　　broadest s_ ense, money. Opportunities to make
        　　money mean competition and competit_ ion is
        　　stressful; it is often at its most intense in the
        　　largest cities , where opportunities are greatest.
        　　The presence of huge numbers of pe_ ople inevitable
        　　involves more conflict, more traveling, the
        　　overloading of public services and exposure to
        　　those deviants and criminals who are drawn
        　　to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has
        　　always flourished in the relative anonymity
        　　of urban life, but today’s ease of movement
        　　makes its control more
        　　difficult than ever; there is much evidence
        　　that its extent has a direct relationship to
        　　the size of communities. City dwellers may
        　　become trapped in their homes by the fear
        　　of crime around them. As a defense against
        　　these developments city dwellers tend to
        　　use vari_ ous strategies to try and reduce
        　　the pressures upon themselves: contac_ ts
        　　with other people are generally made brief
        　　and impersonal; doors are kept locked;
        　　telephone numbers may be ex-directory;
        　　journeys outside th_ e home are
        　　usually hurried, rather than a source of
        　　pleasure. There are other strategies too,
        　　which are positively harmful to the individual; f_
        　　or example, reducing awareness through drugs or
        　　alcohol. Furthermore, a_ ll these defensive forms
        　　of behavior are harmful to society in general; they
        　　cause widespread loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members. Lack of informal social
        　　contact and indifference to the mi_ sfortunes
        　　of others, if they are not personally known to
        　　oneself, are a_ mongst the major causes of urban crime.
        　　36. According to the author, living in a city
        　　causes stress because the_ re are so many people who are _____.
        　　A. anxious to succeed
        　　B. in need of help
        　　C. naturally aggressive
        　　D. likely to commit crime
        　　37. The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because _____.
        　　A. people do not communicate with their neighbors
        　　B. Criminals are difficult to trace in large population
        　　C. People feel anonymous there
        　　D. The trappings of success are attractive to criminals
        　　38. According to the article, what is the worst problem facing people living in cities?
        　　A. crime
        　　B. finding somewhere to live
        　　C. loneliness
        　　D. drugs and alcoholism
        　　39. The biggest incentive to live in a city is_______
        　　A. rewards
        　　B. stress
        　　C. competition
        　　D. money
        　　40. According to the author, crime is caused by several factors, one of which is _____
        　　A. social isolation
        　　B. defensive behavior
        　　C. hurried journeys
        　　D. personal misfortune

        　　He saw the station in a new light. Here was a mass of human beings, some
        　　black, some white, and some brown like himself. Here they mixed with one
        　　another, yet each mistrusted the other with an unnatural fear. Each treated
        　　the other with suspicion, each move in a narrow, haunted pattern of its own
        　　manufacture. One must challenge these things the speaker had said in one’s own way. Yet how in one’s way? How was one to challenge? Slowly it dawned upon him. Here was his
        　　chance, the bench. The railway bench with the legend "Europeans Only"
        　　neatly painted on it in white. For one moment it symbolized all the
        　　challenge to his rights as a man. There it stood, a perfectly ordinary
        　　wooden railway bench, like hundreds of thousands of others in South
        　　Africa. That bench, now had concentrated in it all the evils of system,
        　　he could not understand. It was the obstacle to himself and humanity.
        　　If he sat on it he was a human in a human society. He almost had visions
        　　of fighting the pernicious system if only he sat on that bench. Here
        　　was his chance. He, Karlie, would challenge.

        　　PART III TRANSLATION (15%)
        　　Engineering software technology is constantly evolving, driving the
        　　marketplace, allowing companies to bring better products to market
        　　faster and at lower cost. Each new software release provides
        　　breakthroughs that allow companies to rely more on virtual product
        　　development and less on hours of laboratory, build-and-break studies. What used to take companies months or even years,
        　　costing a lot to design and build, now can be done in just weeks
        　　without great expense. This evolution is a direct result of the
        　　changing role of design analysis and optimisation software.
        　　Once thought of as "an extra step", today, this software is being
        　　applied throughout the product development process, testing
        　　ideas early in the development stage. ACME, Inc. develops the
        　　software tools that allow companies to build better, safer and
        　　more reliable products faster than ever before.
