QUESTIONS 1 – 10: Read the passage then circle the best option A, B, C or D to complete the following questions or
statements:
Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the northernmost and
southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the
wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a substance that people eat to maintain life and
growth. While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees are concurrently helping to fertilize the flowers
on which they land. Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom.
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey.
The different types of bees each perform a distinct function. The worker bee carries nectar to hive in a special stomach called a
honey stomach. Other workers make beewax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided
compartments, or cells. The queen lays eggs in completed cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs.
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male honeybees are called drones;
they do no work and can not sting. They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen. The
queen must be fertilized in order to lay more worker eggs. During the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no
further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death.

QUESTIONS 61 – 70: Read the following passage carefully and complete the sentences that follow A, B, C or D as the

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds,
while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did
silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply
because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading
have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in
character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers
increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for
the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as
libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the
century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and
over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains
with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the
printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other. By the end of the
twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were
inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly
altered what the term “reading” implied.
