Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 44.

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person’s tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may believe them.

Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer’s skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener’s receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.

Question 39: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The function of the voice in performance B. Communication styles

C. The connection between voice and personality D. The production of speech

Question 40: What does the author mean by stating that, “At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen”? A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are. B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words. C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.

D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.

Question 41: Why does the author mention “artistic, political, or pedagogic communication”?

A. As examples of public performance. B. As examples of basic styles of communication.

C. To contrast them to singing. D. To introduce the idea of self-image.

Question 42: According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice maY be an indication of a person’s ________.

A. general physical health B. personality C. ability to communicate D. vocal quality

Question 43: According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide ________.

A. hostility B. shyness C. friendliness D. strength

Question 44: According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?

A. lethargy B. depression C. boredom D. anger

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 50.

U.N. Abandons Treaty to Ban Cloning

U.N. diplomats abandoned efforts to draft a treaty that would outlaw human cloning. They will likely settle for a weaker statement, and won’t seek a widespread ban, officials said. The debate began when Italy introduced a document into the U.N. to stop any attempt at cloning human life. The Belgians objected to the use of the term “human life” in the document, because they feared it would put a stop to all forms of human cloning.

There is near universal support among the United Nations’ 191 members for a ban on reproductive cloning-creating cloned babies. Many countries have wrestled over whether to allow cloning for stem cell and other types of research. [3] Indeed, many researchers believe that stem cells could be used to repair nerve tissue or cure diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Stem cells are taken from embryos and cloned, but extracting these cells kills the embryo. Opponents say that this is equal to murder.

Question 45: What is the main topic of this passage? A. a disagreement on cloning B. the definition of “life” C. reasons why cloning should be banned D. the arguments against cloning babies

Question 46: The word “it” in the text refers to ________. A. a ban B. an attempt at cloning human life

C. use of the phrase “human life” D. research

Question 47: Which of the following can be inferred from his passage? A. The production of cloned babies will probably be banned. B. No one knows what life is or when life begins. C. Cloning for medical research will probably be banned.

D. Most diseases will be cured through cloning.

Question 48: Why are some countries “wrestling” over whether to ban cloning or not? A. Because it is a very harmful process. B. Because they don’t want to upset the U.N. C. Because the issue is morally and legally difficult.

D. Because they want to fight with other countries over cloning.

Question 49: The phrase “universal support” means ________. A. every country is against the issue B. every country is for the issue C. there are equal numbers for and against the issue. D. none of the answers

Question 50: The word “extracting” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.

A. growing B. removing C. curing D. killing
