Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in<br /> every known culture. The main function of a signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a<br /> way that it attracts attention, as for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph curcuit. Coded to<br /> refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of<br /> words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys<br /> meaning quickly and more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their<br /> intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a<br /> theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures, such as waving and<br /> hand-shaking also communicate certain cultural messages.<br /> Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major<br /> disadvantages. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly<br /> adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long<br /> distances and extended periods are based on speech. Radio, television, and telephone are only a<br /> few.<br /> Question 36: What does the author say about speech?<br /> A. That it is the only true form of communication.<br /> B. That it is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.<br /> C. That it is necessary for communication to occur.<br /> D. That it is the most advanced form of communication.<br /> Question 37: Applauding was cited as an example of_____.<br /> A. A sign<br /> B. A signal<br /> C. A symbol<br /> D. A gesture<br /> Question 38: It may be concluded from this passage that_____.<br /> A. Signals, signs, symbols and gestures are forms of communication.<br /> B. Symbols are very easy to define and interpret.<br /> C. Only some cultures have signals and symbols,<br /> D. Waving and handshaking are not related to culture.<br /> Question 39: The word curcuit in line 4 is closest meaning to ____.<br /> A. Hand<br /> B. Letter<br /> C. Email<br /> D. Round<br /> Question 40: Find the word in the passage that means “support”.<br /> A. Convey<br /> B. Cultural<br /> C. Approval<br /> D. Useful<br /> Question 41: From the passage, we all know that waving hand to say good bye is a____.<br /> A. Signal<br /> B. Symbol<br /> C. Gesture<br /> D.

Signals, symbols, signs and gestures are very useful.<br /> C. Signals, symbols, signs and gestures also have disadvantages.<br /> D.

Despite modern advances, most people<br /> still have an irrational fear of hospitals and anesthetics. Patients do not often believe they<br /> really need surgery- cutting into a part of the body as opposed to treatment with drugs.<br /> In the early years of the twentieth century there was little specialisation in surgery. A<br /> good surgeon was capable of performing almost every operation that had been devised up to<br /> that time. Today the situation is different. Operations are now being carried out that were not<br /> even dreamed of 60 years ago. The heart can be safely opened and its valves required. Clogged<br /> blood vessels can be cleaned out, and broken ones mended or replaced. A lung, the whole<br /> stomach, or even part of the brain can be removed and still permit the patient to live a<br /> comfortable and satisfactory life. However, not every surgeon wants to, or is qualified to carry<br /> out every type of modern operation. The scope of surgery has increased remarkably. Its safety<br /> has increased too. The hospital stay after surgery has been shortened to as a week for most<br /> major operation.<br /> Many developments in modern surgery are almost incredible. They include the<br /> replacement of damaged blood vessels with stimulated ones made of plastic; the replacement of<br /> heart valves with plastic substitutes; the transplanting of tissues such as the lens of the eye; the<br /> invention of the artificial kidney to clean the blood of poisons at regular intervals and the<br /> development of heart and lung machines to keep patients alive during very long operations. All<br /> theses things open a hopeful vista for the future of surgery.<br /> One of the most revolutionary areas of modern surgery is that of organ transplants. Until<br /> a few years ago, no person, except an identical twin, was able to accept into his body the tissues<br /> of another person without reacting against them and eventually killing them. recently, however,<br /> it has been discovered that with the use of X-ray and special drugs, it is possible to graft tissues<br /> from one person to another which will survive for periods of a year or more. Kidney’s have<br /> been successfully transplanted between non- identical twins. Heart and lung transplants have<br /> been reasonably successful in animals, though rejection problems in humans have yet to be<br /> solved.<br /> “Spare parts” surgery, the simple routine replacement of all worn-out organs by new<br /> ones, is still a dream of the distant future. As yet, surgery is not ready for such miracles. In the<br /> meantime, you can be happy if your doctor says to you: “Yes, I think it is possible to operate ”.<br /> Question 43: Most people are afraid of being operated on _______________<br /> A. in spite of improvements in modern surgery<br /> B. because they think modern drugs are dangerous<br /> C. because they do not believe they need anesthetics<br /> D. unless it is an emergency operation<br /> Question 44: Open heart surgery has been possible ____________________.<br /> A. only in the last sixty years<br /> B. from prehistoric time<br /> C. since the nineteenth century<br /> D. since the invention of valves<br /> 5<br /> <br />
