Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Doris spends almost all of her free time in her

backyard garden. Her hobby is (31)gardening

because Doris loves working with the earth and

making things grow. Many people think gardening is

(32)pointless because it takes so much time

and you can easily buy fruits and vegetables at the

store. I suppose this point of view is (33)understandable, but Doris gets frustrated with

toilssuch ideas. She (34) in her garden

because she appreciates the feeling of creating

life, not because she can't afford tomatoes and

peppers at the market.

or (35)attention span for gardening. She

understands that it takes a lot of hard work to see

results, so she doesn't hold a (36)grudge

against people who think gardening is a waste of

time. To Doris, gardening is like an (37)art form. Just like painting a beautiful

picture, growing vegetables well requires a lot of

experience, skill, patience, and (38)dedication.

Yesterday, Doris spent a perfect afternoon outside,

beneath the sun, and crouched in the dirt of her

garden. She wore her (39)specially designed

T-shirt that says "Doris: Master Gardener," and she

harvested a basket full of beautiful fruits and

vegetables. Why would anyone choose a different

Part III: Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Music is almost a universal pastime. People around

the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it.

However, world music is a subject that receives little

attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for

people in the United States and Great Britain to be

completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music

found in countries around the world. One of the most

different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music

is found in Mongolia.

Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of

instruments, many of which are unique variations of

instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the

horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and

drums. The most unique and well-known components of

traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo

singing styles known as

khuumii and

urtiin duu.

Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without

instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the

throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes

at the same time.

Khuumii developed in western

Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of

Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these

regions was favorable for this type of singing, which

allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal

effort. Today, throat singing has become

internationally known. However, many of the acts

recording music and traveling the world are from

Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening

to and singing traditional music, young people (like

those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop

music.

Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when

the style was practised as a professional art.

Urtiin

duu relates intricate stories about the natural

beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The

vocal style is similar to

khuumii in that it takes a

talented, practised singer in order to perform well.

The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control

of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style

have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses,

thus earning the name "long songs."

41. "

Music is almost a universal pastime." Which of

the following statements has the same meaning

A. Music is a leisure activity found

B. Music is a required activity found

a few places around the world.

C. Most people in London are unfamiliar

with Asian music.

D. Traditional Mongolian music is known

throughout the world.

lengthy

A. Paragraph 1.
