As much artefact as document, the Rosetta Stone is a slab of black basalt that bears an inscribed text in ancient Greek and in two forms of old Egyptian writing: formal hieroglyphics (as seen on royal tomb walls) and the more common demotic script. In 1799, during Napoleon’s occupation of Egypt, some of his soldiers found this rock on the Rosetta fork of the Nile River near Alexandria. The stone was carved about 2,000 years earlier, in 196 BCE. When the French soldiers recovered the stone, nobody knew how to read hieroglyphics. The Ancient Egyptian history seemed lost forever until scholars Thomas Young and Jean Francois Champollion worked long and hard to decipher the Rosetta Stone, establishing that the three texts all said the same thing in different languages. Using his knowledge of ancient Greek, Champollion was able to announce in 1822 that he could read hieroglyphics. The Rosetta Stone provided an entryway into the remote Egyptian past.

9) One can understand from the passage that ----.

the Rosetta Stone was discovered underground in an ancient Egyptian royal tomb

Young and Champollion had worked hard to read hieroglyphics until the discovery of Rosetta Stone

partial erosion on the Rosetta Stone due to river water made it hard to decipher inscriptions

ancient Greek knowledge of Champollion paved the way for understanding ancient Egypt

Napoleon was deeply honoured by Egyptians after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone

10) It is pointed out in the passage that ----.

French soldiers eventually discovered the Rosetta Stone in 1799 after long and exhausting excavations

a stone was found with a well-preserved form in a royal tomb called Rosetta from near Alexandria

before the discovery and decoding of the Rosetta Stone, the Ancient Egyptian history seemed mysterious and inaccessible

three different artefacts were found with different inscription styles but the same moral by the French soldiers

Young and Champollion were called to decipher the Rosetta inscriptions because of their unique expertise in Egyptian inscriptions

11) According to the passage, ----.

the Rosetta Stone was the first artefact having been deciphered and enlightened the royal life of ancient Egyptians

Napoleon ordered some of his soldiers to search and find the Rosetta Stone because he was aware of its value

the efforts of Young and Champollion resulted in the discovery of a unified message across the three languages written on the Rosetta Stone

until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and its deciphering, remote Egypt past had been misunderstood

the Rosetta Stone allows access into the Ancient Egyptian culture as well as Greek and French culture

Mammals have spread successfully over the entire world, and have even conquered extreme habitats such as deserts and the Arctic. In spite of all external diversities, they have numerous characteristics in common. Mammals are the most highly developed vertebrate animals. Their constant body temperature grants them a life largely independent of temperatures of the surrounding areas. They achieve constant body temperature by a high food intake ─ in comparison to reptiles, for example ─ and an increased rate of metabolism. Long respiration, typical of mammals, supplies the body cells efficiently with oxygen. The heart consists of two atria and two ventricles, which are completely separated from each other. This prevents the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-deficient blood. All mammals, except for the egg-laying monotremes, give birth to live young. During pregnancy, the foetus is linked to the circulatory system of the female and is supplied with nutrients via the placenta and umbilical cord. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide also takes place using this route.

12) Which of the following is true about mammals?

As a result of their adaptation to living in different habitats around the world, their physical appearances have become varied.

Compared to reptiles, mammals consume a much higher amount of food in order to maintain their body temperatures.

Thanks to their oxygen-rich blood, they are able to nurture their offspring.

Their increased rate of metabolism has helped them to be highly sophisticated animals.

They share several similarities with reptiles in terms of nutrition and food intake.

13) Which of the following is true about the biology of mammals according to the passage?

Monotremes are a type of mammal which give birth to live young.

The structure of the mammal heart helps blend oxygen-rich and oxygen-deficient blood.

The hearts of mammals are unique in terms of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Long respiration is a characteristic limited to certain types of mammals.

The foetus inside a female is able to survive thanks to the placenta and umbilical cord.

14) What is the passage mainly about?

Mammal diversity on the planet

Distribution of mammals in the world

Common features of mammals

Differences between mammals and reptiles

Reproduction differences in mammals

Many people want to improve their thinking skills and prevent mental decline. Puzzles are a popular choice for mental training, but somewhat lacking. The problem with things like crosswords and sudoku is that they are not very varied. It is like going to the gym and using only one machine: your biceps might become strong, but you will not be properly fit. Instead, you need something more like circuit training or parkour. That is why one of your best options is to learn a foreign language. This will provide a mental workout including many different skills, from challenging your perceptions to learning grammatical rules. If you speak to others, you get the bonus of social interaction too. Studies also indicate that people who are trying to learn a foreign language have improved executive function – the ability to plan, organise and complete tasks – although these results have recently been disputed. There is also evidence that bilinguals develop dementia four years later, on average, than people who are monolingual, and that they recover faster if they have had a stroke.

15) According to the passage, puzzles ----.

can be utilised to support language learning process

do not play any role in enhancing our thinking skills, contrary to popular belief

serve as an alternative to language learning for mental training

provide limited mental training because they are not diverse

are examples of comprehensive mental training like circuit training and parkour

16) Which could be inferred from the passage about language learning?

Some components of language learning, like perception, improve the ability to learn grammatical rules.

Learning only one foreign language is like doing physical exercise with only one machine at a gym.

We might be wrong in the assumption that language learning involves a variety of skills.

Whether language learning improves executive function is a controversial issue.

On its own, learning a foreign language may fail to treat dementia and strokes.

17) What is the primary purpose of the author?

To promote the mental benefits of solving puzzles for learning a foreign language

To encourage people to start learning a foreign language to improve their cognitive skills

To highlight that language learning has lots of benefits, focusing on the advantages that bilinguals have

To recommend the reader learn a foreign language if they cannot easily participate in social interactions

To inform the reader of the health benefits of doing physical exercise to prevent mental decline

It is easy to become fatalistic about environmental problems since the destruction of the natural world continues at high speed. Many people actively avoid environmental news because it makes them feel hopeless, but there is no reason to despair. A recent analysis suggests that while the loss of biodiversity is undoubtedly serious, it is far from unstoppable. If we make the right choices now, we can stop the decrease by 2100. What would it take? A major step to take is to occupy less space by producing more food from smaller patches of land and using current technologies such as genetic modification. In today’s world, such solutions may seem very simple and idealistic, but the other option, fatalism, is simply a guarantee of failure. In fact, we still have the chance to save the majority of biodiversity without making huge sacrifices. People who care about the natural world have every reason to keep on fighting.

18) It can be understood from the passage that a lot of people ----.

have recognised that they must more actively combat environmental destruction

feel pessimistic about their ability to prevent the loss of biodiversity

believe that news on environmental destruction does not reflect the truth

think that they have done everything they can to save the environment

have begun to pay more attention to the news focusing on environmental problems

19) According to the passage, by 2100, ----.

the loss of biodiversity will remain at a moderate level if people do not take necessary precautions

people will need to use far more space to produce large amounts of food

genetic modification will not be effective alone unless people stop their destructive activities

those who struggle to save the natural world will have to fight more diligently

people will be able to stop the decline in biodiversity if they take appropriate actions

20) What is the primary purpose of the author?

To persuade readers that it is not too late to save the environment

To inform readers that they need to make radical changes in their lifestyles to stop the loss of biodiversity

To warn readers that they should use current technologies more effectively to protect the environment

To show that fatalism can trigger people to save the natural world

To stress that solutions to the loss of biodiversity do not seem feasible
