IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When
there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which
motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to
this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact
and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or

unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod
signifies approval, while sharking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of
nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips),
signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.

XI. Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas in 1897. Thirty one years later, she received a phone call that
would change her life. She was invited to become the first woman passenger to cross the Atlantic
Ocean in a plane. The flight took more than 20 hours – about three times longer than it routinely
takes today to cross the Atlantic by plane. Earhart was twelve years old before she ever saw an
airplane, and she didn‟t take her first flight until 1920. But she was so thrilled by her first
experience in a plane that she quickly began to take flying lessons. She wrote, “As soon as I left
the ground, I knew I myself had to fly.”
After that flight Earhart became a media sensation. She was given a ticker tape parade down
Broadway in New York and even president Coolidge called to congratulate her. Because her
record – breaking career and physical appearance were similar to pioneering pilot and American
hero Charles Lindbergh, she earned the nickname “Lady Lindy.” She wrote a book about her
flight across the Atlantic, called 20 Hrs, 40 Min. Earhart continued to break records, and also
polised her skills as a speaker and writer, always advocating women‟s achievements, especially
in aviation. Her next goal was to achieve a transatlantic crossing alone. In 1927 Charles
Lindbergh became the first person to make a solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic. Five years
later, Earhart became the first woman to repeat that feat. Her popularity grew even more and she
was the undisputed queen of the air. She then wanted to fly around the world, and in June 1973
she left Miami with Fred Noonan as her navigator. No one knows why she left behind important
communication and navigation instruments. Perhaps it was to make room for additional fuel for
the long flight. The pair made it to New Guinea in 21 days and then left for Howland Island, a
tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The last communication from Earhart and Noonan
was on July 2, 1937 with a nearby Coast Guard ship. The United States Navy conducted a
massive search for more than two week but no trace of the plane or its passengers was ever
found. Many people believe they got lost simply ran out of fuel and died.
