QUESTIONS AND EXAMS:

(1) Specimen of the Final Exam of English Course 051 & 055 (for student reference and review)

SECTION - 1

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution. It is very difficult to measure because the discomfort caused by it, and experienced by different individuals, is highly subjective and therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Noise, as a by-product of our advancing technology, causes physical and psychological harm, particularly in congested urban areas.

Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable. Noise enters the ear without any protection. It causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any living being with a hearing mechanism.

Noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, and we are constantly responding to it in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response to it may be much more than an annoyance. It may be serious threat to physical and psychological health and well being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Noise increases nervousness, tension and anxiety, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during working hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.

MODEL QUESTION FOR ENGLISH 106

I. Read the passage carefully:

The family in the Western world has changed greatly during the last two centuries. Social scientists say that this change in the family is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society.
Before the 19th century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Young people did not decide who they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children. This family was an important part of the larger family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and other relatives.
By the 19th century, most young people could choose the person they wanted to marry. A marriage joined two people and not two families. Two people could get married because they loved each other, not just because their families wanted them to marry.
At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children. They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education. People realized that education was necessary for a good life. Many parents decided that they should have fewer children so they could give each one a good life.
Family life is changing even faster in the United States today. Each year there is almost one divorce for every two marriages. Many children grow up in a home with a mother but no father, and the mothers generally have to work outside to take care of the family.
In Canada people are getting divorced and remarried more often. They are having fewer children. This trend is having a powerful effect on a country where change usually comes slowly.
