I. 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: 
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said 
that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education 
implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. 
Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen 
or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal 
learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics 
on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite 
often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known 
of other religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a 
lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of 
one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little 
from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the 
assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of 
reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, 
have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to 
find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are 
experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

XI. 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: 
It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating today. 
We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no 
such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to ignite 
some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from a neighbor. We do not know 
exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that sticks would burn if they were 
dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make 
their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to 
start their own fires. 
Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two pieces 
of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years. When people became used to making fires with 
which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and 
brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron 
stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of Europe. There was no lighting in city 
streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of 
burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses 
at night. For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effective 
than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget 
that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night. 
Question 71: The word “lighter” in the passage mostly means 
A. a hot bright stream of burning gas that comes from something that is on fire.

D. the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc. that makes it possible to see things. 
Question 72: To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to ______

Question 73: The first fire used by people was probably obtained ______. 
A. by rubbing wood together B. from the sun’s heat through glass 
C. from heat or fire caused by nature D. by striking iron against flint 
Question 74: Torches for lighting were made from ______ 
A. iron bars dipped in melted resins B. tree branches dipped in melted resins 
C. the wood of gum trees D. wooden poles dipped in oil
