Sawyer, Tom’s aunt Polly, the Widow Douglas, Judge Thatcher, even Pap was there.

This text is for questions 26 to 28.When a ray of light passes from one transparent substance to another, such as from

air into glass, it is refraction, happens because light moves at different speeds in different

substances-and makes things appear in different places.

You may have noticed that a swimming pool looks as if it is not as deep as it really is

and fish in a lake or a river appear to be nearer the surface than they really are.. the reason

for the illusion is that light rays travelling from underwater object do not move in the same

direction when they emerge through the surface and into the air.

Similar effects occurs when light rays and the normal (a line a right angles to the

surface) is called the angle of incident. Below the water surface, the angle between the light

ray and the normal is called the angle of refraction. When light enters a denser medium, as

when it travels from air into water or into glass, the angle of refraction is less than the angle

of incident-the ray is refracted toward the normal. When light travels from one medium into a

less dense medium, as from glass into air, the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of

incident-the ray is refracted away from the normal.

Refraction can have some strange effects, for example, a drinking straw placed in a

glass of water. The straw appears to bend below the surface. That is because light rays

travelling from straw and leaving the surf are refracted away from the normal. Another

example is the setting Sun, when the air near the surface is denser than that above it. Light

rays from the sun are refracted as they pass through this denser air. Again, looking back

along the refracted rays, we see the Sun in a different position. As result, we appear to be

able to see the Sun even when it has dropped below the horizon.

26. Where is the angle refraction?

A. Above the water surface, between the light ray and the normal,

B. Above the water surface, between the incident ray and the normal

C. Below the water surface, between the light ray and the incident ray

D. Below the water surface, between the incident ray and the normal

E. Below the water surface, between the light ray and the normal

Page 10 of 19

Test Code : 12

27. When is the angle of refraction greater than the angle of incidence?

A. When light enters a denser medium

B. When light travels from the same dense of medium

C. When light travels from one medium into a less dense medium

D. When light fails to enter a denser medium because there is an obstacle

E. When light travels from the same dense of medium because there is an obstacle.

28. ….they emerge through the surface and into the air.

The underlined word means….

A. shine

B. appear

C. travel

D. drop

E. occur

This text is for questions 29 to 32Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviors, and social habits. These

give people a sense of who they are, how they should behave, and what they should or

should not do. These ‘rules’ reflect the ‘culture’ of a country.

 People become conscious of such rules when they meet people from different cultures.

For example, in some cultures, being on time can mean turning up several hours late for an

appointment, even for a business meeting; in others, 3 p.m. means 3 p.m. Also, the rules

about when to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans and Europeans are

used to having three mealtimes a day and organizing their timetable around them. In some

countries, on the other hand, people often do not have strict rules like this - people eat when

they want to and every family has its own time table.

When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised at the

differences that exist between their own culture and that in the other country. The most

common way of comparing two cultures is in terms of their differences - not their similarities.

29. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. Being time for an appointment

B. The rule of having meal is various

C. Coming on time from culture to culture

D. Organizing timetable for people in different culture

E. People’s awareness of rule due to seeing different culture

Video games become a controversial issue for parents and educators. Those who

are in favor of video games believe that video games have some benefits. However, people

who are against video games consider these games have several negative effects.

In the proponents’ point of view, video game functions as a form of light

entertainment. As a part of a balanced entertainment, games can provide stress relief for

kids, help with aspects of coordination and concentration on visual details, and help kids

relate to one another in some forms of healthy competition.

On the contrary, the opponents of video games think that video games have some

disadvantages. Video game players are prone to aggressive thoughts, attitudes, and actions.

Violent video games cause children to be less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others.

Study also shows that these children are more fearful of the world around them. In addition,

Page 13 of 19

entertainment takes away time spent on school work. As a result, the games cause children

Nelson Rohilahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His

father was Hendry Mphakanyiswa of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at

University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law.

He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the

ruling National Party’s apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-

1961 and was acquitted in 1961.

After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a

military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on

the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves

in Mandela’s campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the

formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe.

Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five year’s imprisonment with hard

labor. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were

arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the

government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international

publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life

imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape

Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmor Prison, nearby on the mainland.

compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.

Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged
