Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's name. In some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined.

In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their child's name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.

Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.

In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean "wanderer" or "explorer." Children with these names are seen as travelers. No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether the name is chosen according to preference or dictatedby tradition, it reflects something about a child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.

Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Choosing traditional names

B. Choosing names in Italian culture

C. How Asian people name their children

D. How names reflect a person's culture

Question 40: In which culture are children most likely named after their grandparents?

     A. Japanese                   B. Mexican                   C. Italian                       D. Akan

Question 41: In China, what should names relate to?

     A. child's birth element                                       B. A child's personality

     C. A child's ancestors                                         D. A child's birth date

Question 42: Which is true in Akan culture if a twin brother and sister are born on a Friday?

A. They will have to travel to a different city.

B. They will have different names.

C. They will both be named Afua.

D. They will both be named Kofi.

Question 43: The word "dictated"in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.

     A. translated                  B. said                           C. written                      D. determined

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 questions.

The first year of life The Danish archaeologist Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, curator of the National Museum of Denmark (1816-65), was among the first to use the taxonomic approach in the social sciences. In a painstaking study of the bracteate, a type of ancient pendant found in northern Europe, he charted a variety of morphological categories, such as insignia and size. By combining the typologies thus created, he showed that these Nordic ornaments had developed from earlier Roman coins. Thomsen later used similar techniques with a much larger body of data and eventually developed the basic chronology for Old World antiquities: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age.

Ideas and expressive culture also proved susceptible to taxonomic analysis. The American ethnologist Lewis Henry Morgan gathered data from a large number of Native American tribes and created a typology based on their kinship terminology, which he presented in Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1871). Influenced by the evolutionary theses of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer and by Thomsen's three-age system, Morgan later proposed a universal sequence of cultural evolution in his book Ancient Society; or, Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery Through Barbarism to Civilization (1877). In this work he suggested that all cultures went through a clearly defined series of evolutionary stages: first savagery, which was characterized by a hunting and gathering economy; next barbarism, the stage at which agriculture appears; and finally civilization, represented by hierarchical societies such as thoseof ancient Greece, ancient Rome, and Victorian England.

As one might suspect from Morgan's choice of terms, 19th-century social sciences were intrinsically linked to the colonial endeavors of the period. This was the case whether the colonial effort took place domestically, as in the United States and Canada, or abroad, as it did for the countries of Europe. Although the labeling of a group as "savage" or "barbarous" was to some extent intended to convey specific technical information, the use of such easily misinterpreted labels also made the era's overtly racist colonial policies more palatable to the general public: it was considerably less morally taxing to "civilize the savages" than to "forcibly assimilate an indigenous people.

One of the principal preoccupations of social scientists at this time was the recording of "vanishing" indigenous cultures. This was often undertaken as part of a frank pursuit of the knowledge needed to achieve social and political control over a region, whether in domestic or in overseas contexts. Thus, many early ethnographies and cultural geographies were written by civil servants, military personnel, or missionaries.

Question 44: Christian Jürgensen Thomsen was one of the first scientists to _______ .

A. study the bracteate, a type of ancient pendant found in northern Europe

B. study Nordic ornaments and Roman coins

C. manage the National Museum of Denmark

D. use the scientific process of classifying things in his study of the social sciences

Question 45: The word "painstaking"in the paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

     A. complex                   B. complete                   C. comprehensive         D. thorough

Question 46: According to the passage, the taxonomic approach _______.

A. possibly had an influence on ideas and expressive culture

B. was influenced by the evolutionary theses of Charles Darwin

C. was intrinsically linked to the colonial endeavours of the period

D. likely had a base for Native American tribes' kinship terminology

Question 47: Some labels in Morgan's choice of terms _______ .

A. made the general public believe that the colonists' policies of racism were immoral

B. made the colonists' policies of racism more acceptable to the general public

C. were the principal preoccupations of social scientists in the turning of 19th century

D. received a lot of negative publicity during the early days of colonialism

Question 48: The word "those" in paragraph 2 refers to _______ .

     A. stages                       B. cultures                     C. societies                    D. series

Question 49: The social scientists in 19th century paid most of their attention to _______ .

A. the recording of 'vanishing' indigenous cultures

B. the social and political control over a colony

C. Morgan's choice of terms

D. the ways to assimilate an indigenous people

Question 50: Civil servants, military personnel, or missionaries wrote many ethnographies and cultural geographies of a country

A. in an endeavor to achieve social and political control over it

B. in order to justify their overtly racist colonial policies

C. as part of a frank pursuit of the knowledge needed for their research

D. so as to store information about indigenous cultures for later generations

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's name. In some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined.

In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their child's name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.

Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.

In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean "wanderer" or "explorer." Children with these names are seen as travelers. No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether the name is chosen according to preference or dictatedby tradition, it reflects something about a child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.

Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Choosing traditional names

B. Choosing names in Italian culture

C. How Asian people name their children

D. How names reflect a person's culture

Question 40: In which culture are children most likely named after their grandparents?

     A. Japanese                   B. Mexican                   C. Italian                       D. Akan

Question 41: In China, what should names relate to?

     A. child's birth element                                       B. A child's personality

     C. A child's ancestors                                         D. A child's birth date

Question 42: Which is true in Akan culture if a twin brother and sister are born on a Friday?

A. They will have to travel to a different city.

B. They will have different names.

C. They will both be named Afua.

D. They will both be named Kofi.

Question 43: The word "dictated"in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.

     A. translated                  B. said                           C. written                      D. determined
