2012/2013 ADMISSION EXAMINATION PAPERPart A Reading (30%)Suggested time: 30 minutes Each question is worth onepoint.PASSAGE ONEA.Public transportation receded into a cultural backwater in the 1950s as prosperousmiddle class people took advantage of cheap gas to put into their vehicles. With access to and use of fossil fuels a growing concern in the climate-changing, post-9/11 world, people are beginning to re-evaluate. And while buses and trains are really on the same team in terms of sustainable transportation—either option a vast improvement over the one-car, one-rider model—outspoken camps have sprung up around each. The two are worth comparing.B.AccessA fixed-rail system will never have the reach of a city bus, which can get just aboutany place there’s a paved road. For folks in some parts if there’s no train nearby, their mass-transit commuting will have to be done by bus.fortStudies suggest that light rail appeals to actual riders in a way that buses do not.Commuters tend to see light rail as more modern, more upscale and safer, with no real possibility of operator error.Rail cars are more spacious, offer more freedom of movement and are easier to board and exit. And the ride is smoother: fewer sharp turns, no potholes, no sudden stops.D.Initial CostBuilding new light rail is stunningly expensive, costing tens of millions of dollars per mile. And anti-light rail types love to massage those numbers into cost comparisons to make bus travel look like a bargain. Of course, those studies tend to ignore the cost of building and maintaining the roads on which buses travel. Still, light rail can’t win this game.E.Operation and Management CostOnce light rail is up and running, both infrastructure and train cars are more durable and less expensive to maintain than a fleet of buses and the roads they use. A rail car can last up to 60 years; a bus can last maybe a quarter of that. Every bus needs one driver, while one driver can pilot a train several cars long. That means a lower payroll. And electricity is cheaper than gas.F.StyleFace it, light rail is kind of cool. Buses are not that cool.G.Resources Used/Environmental ImpactLight-rail trains run on electricity. Much of that is generated by coal, and that’s a nonrenewable resource that leaves an ecological footprint in all stages of itsproduction and use. Yet buses run on petroleum products. There aren’t many people touting fossil fuels as the energy of the future these days.H.VisionOpponents of light rail have created a category of public transportation called Bus Rapid Transit — express buses that travel at higher speeds, with fewer stops, in designated lanes.It’s a project that has been implemented successfully in places and may be integrated into a larger transit package in the future. But dozens of American cities are insisting that light rail be a part of that future.BRT may be forward-thinking, but light rail is a breakthrough, a bold move that seeks to face down our dependence on oil.[Used with permission from the Portland Tribune (Pamplin Media Group). “Bus vs. Light Rail” by Eric Bartels, 13 November 2007.]Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from Passage One.

Some people worry that because wind is very variable, we might suddenly lose all of our electricity and find ourselves plunged into a “blackout” if we rely on it too much.B.The reality of wind is quite different. Wherever you live, your power comes froma complex grid, or network, of highly interconnected power-generating unitsranging from giant power plants to individual wind turbines. Utility companies are highly adept at balancing power generated in many different places, in many different ways, to match the total power demand as it varies from hour to hour and day to day. The power from any one wind turbine will fluctuate as the wind rises and falls, but the total power produced by thousands of turbines, widely dispersed across an entire country, is much more regular and predictable. While it’s true that you might need 1,000 wind turbines to produce as much power as a giant coal or nuclear plant, it’s also true that if a single wind turbine fails or stops turning, it causes only 1/1000th (0.1 percent) of the disruption you get when a coal or nuclear plant fails (which happens more often than you might think). It’s also worth bearing in mind that wind is extremely predictable several days in advance so it’s easy for power planners to take account of its variability as they figure out how to make enough power to meet expected demands.C.Opponents of wind power have even suggested that it might be counter-productive,because we’d still need to have backup coal or nuclear plants or some way of storing wind-generated electricity for those times when there’s not enough wind blowing. That would certainly be true if we made all our energy from one, single mega-sized wind turbine—but we don’t! In reality, even countries that have large supplies of wind energy have plenty of other sources of power too. Denmark, for example, makes 20 percent of its electricity—and meets 43 percent of its peak load—with wind. As long as wind power is making less than half of a country’s total energy, the variability of the wind is not a problem.Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from Passage Two.

Mark the letter on the Answer Sheet.How to Keep Chickens as PetsThere are many breeds of chickens. Some are better for laying; some are fancier 13 appearance, and some chicken breeds are 14 than others, making them suited for pets.The Orpington is a good all-round bird, suited for 15 and as pets. The Sussexand Rhode Island Chickens are also suited for all purposes. The Silkie Chickens and Cochin are 16 birds generally kept as pets or for eggs, and they make terrific parents if you do have a rooster.Chickens come in different sizes. Bantam chickens are smaller and 17 great pets in a limited space. Some chicken breeds only come in bantam size, 18 others only come in standard sizes. A few come in both.If you want eggs, you will note that some breeds lay more than others, with most hens producing 4 – 6 eggs a week.Typically, white hens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs. Some breeds even lay colourful green/blue eggs. It is actually the colour of 19 bird’s ear that determines what colour eggs it will lay; egg colour has 20 to do with nutrition.Most hens start laying eggs at 5 months of age and only lay during the spring, summer, and early fall. They molt and stop laying for the winter. A few breeds lay year 21, while others 22 a break. Chickens can be induced to lay at other times by providing artificial light but their bodies do need to rest. As they get older, they lay fewer eggs.Laying hens need a special ration 23 is high in protein and calcium. They can also be given extra calcium in the form of oyster shell or actual crushed egg shells.24 their proper diet, chickens should be given some chicken scratch (a corn mixture) every day, and can be given some kitchen leftovers such as old bananas, ends of brown bread, apples, and so forth. They should not be given onions. Offering scratch and other treats is a good way to make your birds friendly.Chicken should also be given grit to help with digestion and should always have fresh water.If eggs are not removed, some hens become broody and will sit on them to hatch out chicks, but not all hens have this habit. It takes 21 days for chicken eggs to hatch. Only fertile eggs will hatch. 25 there is no rooster, the eggs are not fertile.If you are collecting eggs for eating, you will have to check in the morning and again at noon and refrigerate any eggs you gather.[Used with permission from a Creative Commons 3.0 licence. “How to Keep Chickens as Pets” by Brenda Nelson, 6 October 2011.]13.

It was earlier this summer, in Facebook's boardroom in Palo Alto, and it was clear Zuckerberg hadn't spent a lot of time there. He wondered aloud to his media aide why we were meeting in such a big and off-putting formal space. His comments caught me off-guard. I expected a guy who has become as rich and famous as Zuckerberg to more fully embrace it. And then I thought, "Of course he feels awkward about his surroundings. He's only 23 years old."B.It's been like that from the beginning for Zuckerberg. Ever since he startedFacebook out of his Harvard dormitory room four years ago, he has been scrambling to keep up with epic growth in his and the company's fame and fortune.The last year has been particularly remarkable. Users have quadrupled while employees and revenues have tripled. Zuckerberg was mocked briefly in 2006 for turning down a near $1-billion buyout from Yahoo. Now, there is talk that Google and Microsoft both want to buy a chunk of or all of Facebook for a valuation exceeding $10 billion. Meanwhile, in bars and at cocktail parties, Silicon Valley people ask "Do you think he's more like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates?"C.Another round of Silicon Valley hype, you say? Perhaps. It does defy a certain logicthat a 23-year-old might be worth – based on his 30% stake in Facebook – $3 billion. But the facts are these: Facebook is the hottest social networking company on the planet right now. And two very smart companies – Google and Microsoft – along with most of Silicon Valley believe that Facebook, or its kind of technology, is going to completely change the way you use the Internet in five years. Is that worth $5 billion? $10 billion? $15 billion? I don't know, but I know it's worth a lot.D.When I first met Zuckerberg, I hadn't figured that out. Sure, MySpace – owned byRupert Murdoch's News Corp. – had more than 100 million users, and Facebook had 40 million. But these were all teenagers sharing party pictures online, right? At their best, the two websites seemed like a more technologically advanced version of Internet chat rooms. At worst, they were a hangout for scammers and sexualE.It all sounds way too complicated for ordinary people to understand until you hearZuckerberg explain it. Boiled down, it goes like this: Humans get their informationfrom two places – from mainstream media or some other centralized organization such as a church, and from their network of family, friends, neighbours and colleagues. We've already digitized the first. Almost every news organization has a website now. What Zuckerberg is trying to do with Facebook is digitize the second.F.Think about what this means. Right now, the interactions among friends,neighbours and colleagues – a.k.a. word of mouth – is still analogue. You go to a cocktail party, and a friend tells you about this incredible restaurant he's found. You ask a few other friends to confirm that data and eventually two things happen: You go to the restaurant regularly, and the place becomes a favourite in town. Now imagine that information automatically pushed out to all your friends, tested, verified and returned to you in 24 hours, and you have Zuckerberg's vision for Facebook.[Source: Adapted from Fred Vogelstein, “The Facebook Revolution,” Los Angeles Times, 7 October 2007.]Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from reading Passage One.

Lethargic? In dire need of 40 winks? Join the club. But how to boost ourenergy levels without putting in too much effort? I finally accepted the urgent need to sort out my energy levels when the clocks went back last year. The days were suddenly short, drab, dark. I snored through the alarm every morning, then kick-started myself with strong coffee. By midday, I'd be working out ways to fit ina sneaky nap. In the evening, I'd drink wine to wind down, before sliding into bedwith a laptop, promising myself sleep by midnight at the latest, then Skyping friends, ordering groceries and reading tomorrow's papers until past 2am. It didn't seem stupid at the time. Of course it didn't – my mind was in a permanent tired yet over-stimulated fog. And anyway, everyone I knew was the same.B.I came to my first conclusion early. The main reason we're all so incrediblyexhausted is – sorry to blind you with science – we're not getting enough sleep.Obvious, perhaps, but also not so obvious. We all seem fully aware that we need, for example, eight hours, but always get five, yet we do nothing constructive about it. I think the reason for that is that getting good sleep requires sacrifice and strong willpower.。

Gentile, who worked on the research.Researchers, who run the Media Research Lab at Iowa State University (3) in Ames, explained that excessive screen time had also been associated with (4) increases aggression and, perhaps less surprisingly, expanding waistlines. 1.

NO CHANGEThe researchers followed a group of more than 1,300 school-age children, who, joined by their parents, logged their TV and gaming hours for over a year. The researchers then asked teachers to answer questions about how the children behaved in school—whether they had difficulty (5) staying within task, for instance, or often interrupted others. 5. A. staying in taskB. staying on taskC. staying upon taskD. NO CHANGEThe findings concluded that those who watched a lot of TV or played a lot of video games had slightly more problems (6) concentrate on schoolwork. Distinctively, those children who spent more than 2 hours every day sitting in front of the TV or playing video games—the limit recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics—increased their odds of exceeding (7) any average level of attention problems by 67%. 6. A. concentratedB. concentratesC. concentratingD. NO CHANGE7. A. an average levelB. the average levelC. some average levelD. NO CHANGEA well-known doctor has said that not all games are created equal. In fact, not all games of the same type offer the same kind of experience. The classic case is people who watch TV news and see a lot of violence and crime (8) tend to predict more crime for their neighborhood, even if they live (9) in a low-crimes area. And that is an effect seen in the games. People who played violent games were much more likely than the comparison group to think the world was a more dangerous place in terms of (10) being attacked with weapons. 8.

It is not a (11) help gesture to ban kids from playing games completely, and doing so could worsen the kid’s behaviour. Parents should instead balance their children’s screen time and study time, and guide them on the video games and TV shows that they are watching. Kids are very curious about many things they have seen and heard, and (12) the more curious they are the more they ask questions. The asking of questions can be considered a kind of learning, so a little guidance by parents will probably make them good and responsible kids. 11.A. helpfullyB. helpingC. helpedD.

Birthday parties mark another year (14) going; this can be exciting especially as we get old enough to drive, or frightening as we get older and want to celebrate 29 again and again.Birthdays are celebrated in many ways around the world. In countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico and Uruguay, they celebrate (15) a girls’ 15th birthday with the Waltz. At this age she is considered of suitable age and dances the waltz first with her father and grandfather, then (16) with possibly suitors. When a girl turns 15 in Ecuador, there is a great celebration, and the girl wears a pink dress. The father puts the first pair of high heels on the birthday girl and dances the waltz with her while 14 girls and 14 boys also dance. In the United States, when a girl turns 16 she has a great celebration known as “a sweet sixteen.” Family and friends are invited, and it is an elaborate celebration of (17) her turning into a young woman.Many countries include special food into the celebration. In China and the Philippines, they serve (18) noodles which are a sign of good fortune. (19) When in Russia the birthday child is presented with a pie that has a special greeting carved into it, Ghana and Guyana include traditional dishes into the celebration.Some celebrations include marking the child or the house, as they do in Nepal with a mark on the forehead or in Canada (20) whom they ambush the child and grease his/her nose. In Lithuania, garlands are hung around the entire door. In Denmark, flags are flown from all the windows to show that someone in the house is having a birthday.No matter how you celebrate your birthday, it is a special day in your life, an ancient tradition that still holds today with candles, gift giving and well wishing, and a celebration of life. 13.A. and anotherB. or the otherC. and the otherD.

Then answer the questions that follow.Passage One3A.The Internet has brought information to those who have access to it. Through thedissemination of information via the Internet, we have learned about the history of the establishment of dictatorships around the world as well as the roles that many Western governments played in their establishment. Today, this freedom to exchange information through the Internet is being threatened by the actions of some governments.B.Reporters Without Borders (Reporters Sans Frontières) has compiled a “PressFreedom Index,” which provides information about the level of press freedom in any given country. This information is compiled through a survey completed by various professionals working in journalism. Questions in the survey include asking reporters whether efforts were made to prevent them from obtaining information. These efforts can include but are not limited to physical and economic pressures placed on the journalists. According to this index, the same two countries, North Korea and Turkmenistan, have held the top two spots for countries with the least amount of press freedom in Asia in both 2009 and 2012 (see Tables 1 and 2).Table 14. Table 25.Press Freedom Rankings in Asia (Least to Most), 2009 Press Freedom Rankings in Asia (Least to Most), 2012Rank Country WorldRank Change*Rank Country WorldRankChange*1 North Korea2 ↑ 1 North Korea 2 ↑2 Turkmenistan3 ↑ 2 Turkmenistan 3 ↑3 Iran4 ↑ 3 Syria 4 ↑4 Myanmar5 ↑ 4 Iran 5 ═5 Laos 7 ↑ 5 MainlandChina6 ↑6 MainlandChina8 ↑ 6 Bahrain 7 ↑↑7 Yemen 9 ↑↑7 Vietnam 8 ↑8 Vietnam 10 ↑8 Yemen 9 ↑9 Syria 11 ↑9 Myanmar 11 ↑10 Saudi Arabia 13 ↑10 Laos 15 ↑*Reflects movement from the previous year. *Reflects movement from the previous year.3 Adapted from /global_issues/press_freedom.html and/feature/asia/least_free_national_press.html4Data from Reporters Without Borders (/press-freedom-index-2009,1001.html)C.Although it may appear that the countries listed in the top ten are all developingcountries with a recent or current history of dictatorship, the amount of press freedom enjoyed in Western nations has also decreased. Increasingly, ownershipof mainstream media in developed countries rests in the hands of very rich individuals. A case in point is media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose company owns Fox (operating in North and South America), Sky (operating in Europe), and Star (operating in Asia). Murdoch also owns a number of print media and publishers. Thus, it can be argued that the mainstream media today tends to exhibit clear biases towards a certain viewpoint.D.Citing breaches to its national security, the United States is making a concertedeffort to clamp down on the freedom to exchange information through the Internet by actively taking steps to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose controversial website collects and posts highly classified documents and videos. Washington wants to press charges against WikiLeaks for revealing confidential U.S. diplomatic cables and has also threatened to prosecute businesses and others who have relationships with WikiLeaks. Under pressure from the United States, governments all over the world—with the exception of Ecuador, which is currently sheltering Assange in its London Embassy—are calling for his arrest after the release of thousands of classified documents.E.Meanwhile, Assange argues that websites such as WikiLeaks are needed in theworld to fight back against dictatorships, challenge media monopolies, and reveal violations against human rights. He further argues that the people have a fundamental right to know what is being done to them and how their rights are being violated. If the media is controlled by fewer and fewer people, the type of information released and the perspectives that are discussed will decrease.WikiLeaks offers people an alternative where they can get a straight answer.Assange cautions that if WikiLeaks is allowed to disappear, it may be the beginning of the end of press freedom.Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from Passage One.

Daniel, and Crystal A. BakerA.Relatively rare just 10 years ago, most publishers of introductory-level textbooksin higher education now offer e-book alternatives to the vast majority of their titles.Although not necessarily grounded in practical application, e-books have many supporters, at least in concept. One potential advantage is the greater flexibility and accessibility of e-books over paper-based texts; others include increased visual appeal of e-books due to features such as still and moving graphics, and video clips, as well as the potential to add supportive materials such as audio collections, links to activities and websites, etc. It is important to evaluate electronic texts as learning tools before recommending or requiring their use as a substitute for print textbooks.B.Often marketed as lower cost options for students on a budget, there is scantpeer-reviewed research regarding the use and preference of electronic texts as educational tools, especially in higher education. Factors such as gender, comfort with computers, familiarity, and appropriate design have yet to be fully investigated with respect to e-books. For example, gender differences in the use of, and comfort with, computers have been reported since computers emerged into the college classroom (Young, 2000). Although efforts to increase comfort with computer use and specific training seem to lessen these differences (Shashaani, 1997), such interventions are not typically employed with e-book adoption nor is there evidence to suggest that they may or may not be needed. The possibility that e-texts could have differential effects on learning based on gender or other variables is an important consideration in the adoption of a text option for every student.6 From/S0360131510001120/1-s2.0-S0360131510001120-main.pdf?_tid=b9768ff4-1d9f-11e2-82a6-00000aab0f6bC.As Schumacher and Waller (1985) so eloquently argued in the context of readingresearch in general, we risk losing important information by not focusing upon the process variables associated with the reader’s use and interaction with the text. For example, user variables associated with the manner in which students interact withe-books as well as their comfort and familiarity with the medium are important considerations. The design of the text, for example, whether electronic or print, can influence its effectiveness, as well as student motivation to interact with it.The placement of illustrations and other textbook features, for example, has been demonstrated to impact learning (Levin & Mayer, 1993; Mayer, Steinhoff, Bower, & Mars, 1995) as well as student preference (Marek, Griggs, & Christopher, 1999).Many e-textbooks are often a pdf of the actual textbook page (or html/php equivalents) with the possible addition of hyperlinks and other features. Although e-books tend to mimic their print counterparts, students may not read e-books the same way as they do textbooks. For example, readers report skimming computer-based text more often than paper-based text (Nielson, 1997; Rho & Gedeon, 2000) and reading e-text in an “F” pattern, searching for key terms rather than reading line by line (Nielson, 2006). Thus, although differences in comprehension may not be immediately evident (Aust, Kelley, & Roby, 1993), process variables such as student effort, differences in processing, and eye strain from computer screens can lead to a level of discomfort and differential usage of this medium (Kropman, Schoch, & Teoh, 2004) that could affect students’ preferences.Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from Passage Two.

The water is so powerful that it provides cheap and clean electricity to largeAmerican cities nearby, such as New York.During the trip, you will have different options to view the Falls. You can simply walk beside the waterfall, but be sure to bring an umbrella! For a more exciting sight, try passing through the tunnel behind the waterfall.

You can reach even greater heights by going on a helicopter ride over the Falls. The most popular way to experience the Falls is a trip on the Maid of the Mist, a boat that travels to the foot of the waterfall. Don’t worry—they give you raincoats!In addition to viewing the Falls, there are opportunities for many different fun activities in the Niagara region. Large, reasonably-priced golf courses are easily within reach. World-class theatre productions can be seen for 8 months of the year.

The newcomers gave thanks for a good harvest that would help them survive the coming winter. Since then, Thanksgiving Day has become a time for American and Canadian families to gather and express appreciation for the blessings in their lives. However, research into gratitude has shown that being thankful all year, not just on one day, benefits our health.Studies show that people who express gratitude have a happier outlook on life, lower their blood pressure, sleep better and are less affected by pain. In addition, g ratitude’s positive effects are long-lasting. Canadian researchers found that people who wrote thank-you letters or performed good deeds for a six-week period improved their mental health, felt more energetic and accomplished more daily tasks for up to six months.Another way to practice thankfulness is keeping gratitude journals, where people write down a set number of things that they are grateful for each day. A 2013 study of nearly 1000 Swiss adults aged 19-84 found that those who kept such journals reported fewer aches and pains three weeks later. Interestingly, the experimenters found that the effects of gratitude were stronger with older adults than with people in their twenties.Because gratitude is a fairly new field of study, researchers are still trying to identify its cause-and-effect relationship with various health benefits. Alex Wood, a Scottish professor of psychology, gives the example of sleep. Scientists know that people who have higher levels of gratitude also report sleeping better. Nevertheless, it’s unclear whether being thankful leads to better sleep, or vice versa. According to Wood, it might even be some third factor that causes both gratitude and improved sleep.Gratitude can benefit people at all stages of life. Swedish researchers have found that people aged 77 to 90 who use daily reflection to appreciate what they have are less likely to worry that they may become unable to take care of themselves. Helena Horder, one of th e study’s authors, describes how gratitude allows the elderly to focus on the positive in their lives now—still being mobile, alive, and independent. She wonders if such thankfulness for the present gives them confidence for the future.Despite the growing number of studies that link gratitude with physical and psychological well-being, there are worries that our current lifestyle does not suit a thankful attitude. Today, many busy people don’t pause and take time to appreciate what they have, much less exp ress gratitude to others. In addition, advertising and social media push people, especially the younger generation, to value self-satisfaction. As a result, says Tamiko Zablith of the consulting firm Minding Manners, young people begin seeing themselves as the centre of the universe. If it’s all about us, what need is there to thank others?According to the research, the need lies in our physical and mental health. So whether you send a thank-you email, keep a gratitude journal, or simply say “Thanks”, reme mber that gratitude benefits both giver and receiver, especially in terms of a positive outlook.Choose the one best alternative from the four options A, B, C, and D. (1.5 marks each)1.The word “appreciation” is closest in meaning toA.happiness.B.gratitude.C.sympathy.D.interest.2.The word “elderly” is closest in meaning toA.young people.B.thankful people.C.old people.D.sick people.3.What happened four centuries ago?A.A traditional celebration began.B.American and Canadian families gathered together.C.Thanksgiving was celebrated by many people around the world.D.Settlers arrived in England.4.Which country’s scientists have found that being thankful and helping others increasespeople’s mental health, energy levels and productivity?A.SwedenB.ScotlandC.CanadaD.Switzerland5.Which one of the following statements is NOT true based on the article?A.Showing gratitude has an effect on people of all ages.B.People are more likely to be grateful nowadays.C.The relationship between gratitude and health is a recent field of study.D.Being thankful and expressing gratitude to others have many positive benefits.Answer the following questions based on information found in the article, using complete sentences (2 marks each).

Some participants write thank-you notes/letters.and/orSome participants write down the things they are thankful for in a journal everydayand/orSome people do good things.7. Researchers are still trying to find out if being thankful has a cause-and-effect relationshipwith different health benefits.orResearchers are not certain how gratitude affects health, or whether health affects gratitude. They are still trying to find out if there are some other factors that may cause gratitude and better health.orScientists do not yet know whether being thankful can lead to better sleep, or if better sleep will lead to gratitude.8. The Swedish research focused on only older people, while the Swiss research studied arange of ages, from teenagers to the elderly. Another difference is that the Swedish research examined the psychological benefits of gratitude, in contrast to the Swiss research, which looked at the physical effects.9. Being grateful can make people feel more confident about the future, in the case of theelderly. Gratitude has also led to people feeling happier and having higher hope in life.orGratitude has also made people feel happier and have more hope in life.10. They don’t take the time to be thankful for what they have, nor do they show gratitude toothers. In addition, due to social media and advertising, people are self-centred, and so do not see the need to thank others.。

Earlier this week, news of a February 4 change to the site’s terms of service trickled out to users courtesy of The Consumerist, a Consumers Union blog. That change, according to The Consumerist, meant that Facebook could now use information you upload “in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later”.B.Facing a public relations crisis, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg clarified his company’s position, writing, “our philosophy is that people own their information and control who they share it with”.C.Facebook users took issue with the deletion of a provision in the terms of service that said users could remove their content at any time, at which time the license would expire, and added new language that said Facebook would retain users’ content and licenses after an account was terminated, The New York Times reported. Zuckerberg, however, indicated that the change in language was done for pragmatic reasons: even when a Facebook user deactivates an account, any messages and other information (e-mail addresses or phone numbers, for example) shared with his or her friends are still in that friend's inbox or on their wall.D.Zuckerberg chalked the issue up to a lack of technology. “There is no system today that enables me to share my email address with you and then simultaneously lets me control who you share it with and also lets you control what services you share it with,” Zuckerberg wrote.E.This wasn’t Facebook’s first foray into a public relations crisis over privacy. In 2007, the site found itself in a similar situation when it introduced Beacon, software on its sitehave partnered with Facebook on the endeavour. In earlier versions of the software, your movie viewing or purchasing habits could be sent to your Facebook page – without your explicit permission – for all of your network of friends to see. More than 50,000 Facebook users signed a petition protesting the new program, which prompted the site to notify users before passing along updates about their activities on partner sites and let users cancel these updates if they so desired.[Source: Greenemeier, Larry. “60-Second Science Blog.” Scientific American 17 Feb. 2009. 25 Feb. 2009.]Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from reading Passage One.

India is only one of many countries in South and South-East Asia to exploit its English-speaking colonial heritage and connect to the global economy. However, it is likely that it will be China who will determine the speed at which other Asian countries, such as Thailand, shift to a global English model.B. China is now setting the pace of change in the region. In 2001, China decided to make English compulsory in primary schools from Grade 3. In practice, rural areas may not meet that target, while big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, have already introduced English at Grade 1. More people are now learning English in China than in any other country. Within the formal education sector an estimated 176.7 million Chinese were studying English in 2005.C. In 2004 the English language scholar Braj B. Kachru wrote that there were 200 million Chinese English users in 1995. As a result of the new policy, China now produces over 20 million new users of English each year. It seems possible that within a few years there could be more English speakers in China than in India.D. China’s decision to make English a key part of its strategy for economic development has had a galvanising impact on neighbouring countries, where enthusiasm for English was in danger of waning. By the end of 2005, Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan were all expressing grave anxiety about their national proficiency in English and had announced new educational initiatives. Thailand announced a new teacher training programme and a switch to communicative methodology because its 1996 policy to start English at Grade 1 was failing. The Philippines are debating whether to make English the medium of education at all levels.E. Not only is China setting the pace, but until countries in the region are able to develop their national proficiency in Mandarin, English will provide their main means of communicating with China.[Source: Graddol, David.

It used to take days for family moments captured on film to be ready for viewing. However, with digital technology, it only takes moments for captured images to be viewed and sent to friends and relatives.B. The sharing of visuals is not just taking place between family members and friends. In many instances, this sharing is taking place between people and international news media. Newscasts on CNN or BBC that used to rely almost exclusively on its own journalists or news service agencies such as The Associated Press or Reuters for video footage and news coverage are now turning to their viewers for visuals in an attempt to cover more in less time.C.The harsh winter storms that wreaked havoc in many parts of China this past Lunar New Year is a case in point. Coverage of the storms on CNN and BBC were aided by digital pictures or videos sent in by their viewers. During the broadcast, the news presenters continued to encourage people to send in comments, relevant photos, or supporting footage of the latest breaking news via email.D.This latest trend that relies heavily on the Internet for information transmission reflects the growing popularity of interactive media. News used to be spread from the few to the masses, but now, anyone with a digital camera and access to the Internet can participate in the dissemination of facts and opinions.E.Critics of this movement towards the growing interactivity of public broadcasts claim that it harms the credibility of newscasts, since anything could be submitted. Given the time pressure of a live broadcast, the screening process may not be as stringent as print media. On the other hand, proponents of this movement maintain that viewer participation greatly benefits all newscast viewers, dramatically enriching headlines. Supporters further argue that viewer participation has not diminished the quality of reporting but rather made reporting more relevant to the lives of the viewers. Whether the benefits outweigh the drawbacks or vice versa, it appears that the interactivity is here to stay.Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from reading Passage One.

There are several factors that can impede creating an environment of trust and mutual confidence in the classroom and a sense of community for communicative language teaching and learning, in particular, large classes, poor classroom design, and reluctant students.B. Large class sizes make it extremely difficult for students to get to know one another and for a teacher to get to know all of the students, an obvious deterrent to building a sense of community.C. Many classrooms are teacher-fronted, with immovable desks facing the front of the room. If students are to engage in communicative language learning activities, they need to be able to see each other and the teacher needs space to move around the classroom to be able to interact with students and hear what they say. Also, many teachers struggle with inadequate lighting, poor ventilation, and noise, all of which make it difficult for students to listen to and talk with each other.D. Even though English is now seen as a language of international communication and many people say they want to learn it, there are still reluctant learners. One reason for their reluctance is that they feel too much anxiety about language learning. They are not accustomed to a communicative classroom and feel insecure about speaking in English. A second reason is that they think they won’t need English when they graduate; thus, it is not relevant to their future. Third, they have poor skills in English; they may have studied it for many years or may know English grammar backwards and forwards, but they still have trouble composing sentences and holding a conversation in English. Fourth, cultural differences may exist between foreign native speaker teachers and their students, both in communication styles and in classroom practices. Finally, teachers and students often have different expectations of what a language class should be.E. For all these reasons, it is often very difficult initially for students to actively participate in their English classes.Vocabulary in ContextBelow are words and phrases from reading Passage Two.

澳门大学入学试中文卷应用文题议论
澳门大学入学试中文卷应用文题议论本文是由语文教案工作室上传的：议。
一、引言现时，澳门大学(以下简称“澳大”)入学试有中文、英文及数学三份考卷。
当中的中文卷分为三部份，甲部为作文，占全卷分数50%；乙部为课文问题，占30%；丙部为语文知识，占20%。
本文以大学入学试卷内容应具备的三大功能为考察标准，以2003至2007年的澳大入学试中的应用文题(参见附件)及考生答案为考察对象，浅析近几年澳大入学试题中的应用文考题，期望为澳大入学试中文卷中的应用文考题提出一些参考意见。
二、大学入学试的功能大学入学试中文卷主考曾多次强调：澳门大学入学考试的主要功能应具备考核功能、甄选功能及导向功能。
这三种功能一般适用于用作分析整份试卷的所有考题，而非试卷中的某一部份考题；其分析对象应是试卷整体，而非局部。
笔者舍传统做法，而取之分析独立试题的理由是：试卷分析的总原则往往是通过许多局部的具体分析表现出来的，其内在精神更是表现在试卷中的各个部份；而且一种分析法若适用于分析全面，也应该适用于分析局部；因此，我们运用此三种功能分析2003年至2007年澳大入学试中文卷的应用文考题。
本文的分析数据是根据抽样调查所得。
(一) 考核功能现时在澳门的各类型考试，可以从两个方面来考察：一是小考(小学毕业考试)、中考(初中毕业考试)、高中毕业试及大学公开考试；另一是在学校教育过程中出现的各类考试。
前一类的考试主要是考察学生在经过一个阶段的学习以后，对于所学知识的广度和深度；而后者则是考查学生对于教师讲授的每一章节内容的掌握程度。
澳大入学试就是属于前者，具有考查应届毕业生在中学阶段所学到的知识面的广度、深度及综合运用各类知识的能力。
(二) 甄选功能大学入学试的设立目的是要为大学甄选出具备学习能力和发展潜力的学生，此类考试有别于上述的阶段性考试及中小学校的课程考试。
在性质上，它属于常模参照考试，它关心的是被选拔者的能力倾向，选拔者是否具备学习潜力，能否顺利完成更高层级的学习内容。
