Part II Questions 11 – 20 are based on Passage 2. Passage 2 The Most Innovative City 1 (11)______________________ Problems such as poverty, crime, public education, and pollution control plague the majority of the world’s cities. Each one it seems is struggling to avoid urban disaster. But Curitiba, Brazil, a city of 1.6 million people, is dealing with these problems. This little-known city in southeast Brazil is being recognized as the place that has solutions to many of the world’s growing urban problems. 2 (12)_____________________________.Through this program, more than 70% of its trash is recycled—compared with the 25% in Los Angeles. Christano Pinheiro, a seven-year-old boy shows how it’s done. At the start of the school year, Pinheiro traded 8 pounds of recyclable garbage for a packet of new notebooks. Each week,, he and his two older brothers exchange trash for fresh fruit or 2 pounds of protein-rich beans. The program helps the poor. In 1995, the city exchanged nearly 2 million ppunds of food, 348,000 Easter eggs and 26,000 Christmas cakes for recyclable trash. Hundreds of quilts for the needy were stuffed with crushed Styrofoam. Christiano was one of 25.000 poor children who received these supplies. (13)________________________

3. (14)_______________________________. Old worn out equipment was frequently being replaced with new technology and equipment. Like every other city, old, yet usable materials were being dumped around the city of Curitiba. This gave engineers and architects an opportunity to work together to use the materials creatively. Old wooden telephone poles are now reused in office buildings, bridges and public squares. Retired buses have become mobile classrooms for adult education. “Virtually everything has more than one use,” said Mayor Rafael Greca, whose airy office overlooking a park is made of old poles and glass. “it’s just a matter of figuring out how to reuse things and then teaching people how to do it.” 4. (15)___________________________. The latest additions are the lighthouses of Learning, based on the great lighthouse and library in Alexandria, Egypt, one of the ancient world’s seven wonder. The first lighthouse was built as an experiment in 1995 to determine exactly who would use it, and the effect it would have on the surrounding neighborhood. Within six months of being opened, it was clear that it was popular. Soon after, a lighthouse was built in each of the city’s neighborhoods. 5.

(18)______________________________.Unlike other cities where government buildings are located in an often isolated, high rent area, government offices in Curibita are accessible to everyone on what is known as Citizen Streets. These Citizen streets are colorful covered avenues of government offices and shops where residents can pay utility bills, get a marriage license, have a haircut, buy groceries or file a police report. And instead of zoning the city into commercial, institutional and leisure facilities as most cities do, Curitiba’s planners have merged them all together so that people can use their time effectively at a minimum classrooms that offer professional training for $1 a course.

1. Somewhere in India, a blind river dolphin seeks her companion. Under the dark waters of the Ganges she will sleep next to him. She has never needed to see. These dolphins find everything they want and need by listening to echoes. Above them in the sky, two cranes from the East are flying back from China to their western breeding territory in Siberia. The cranes are a mile up in the sky, looking down with their golden eyes. What is In the hearts of these cranes, or in the hearts of the dolphins? Although they are different from us, their lives of trouble and satisfaction may not be that much different from ours. When the dolphin rises out of the muddy waters or the cranes stretch their necks in flight, we are filled with a sudden sense of familiarity, the recognition that we share an emotional heritage. They feel and we feel, even if we are not sure just what their feelings are. 2. After a promising start over 120 years ago, when Charles Darwin explored the terrain in his book Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, very few scientists have acknowledged, researched, or even speculated about animal emotions. The scholarly literature on animals contains many observations, accounts, and anecdotes that suggest emotions the animals may be experiencing, or expressing, or at least call for further research into this possibility. Yet little to none is forthcoming. 3. G. G. Rushby, a game warden doing “elephant control work” in Tanzania, saw three female elephants and a half-grown male in tall grass. Since his job was to keep the elephant population down, he shot the females, — and slightly wounded the half-grown animal. To his dismay, he suddenly saw two elephant calves who had been with the females but had been hidden in the grass. He moved toward them, shouting and waving his hat, hoping to drive them back to the larger herd, where other elephants would adopt them. The wounded elephant was dazed and helpless and did not know which way to turn. Instead of fleeing, the orphaned calves pressed themselves against him, supported and led him away from the game warden. Terror, compassion, bravery — accounts like this, systematically developed, could provide evidence for a world of deep emotional experience on the part of animals, but there appears little place for them in scientific literature. One-time incidents are dismissed as “anecdotes,” and evidence of animal emotion and support, like that of the elephant family, are avoided in published reports. 4. But the greatest obstacle in science to investigating the emotions of other animals has been the avoidance of anthropomorphism. Anthropomorphism means the assigning of human

characteristics-thought.feeling consciousness.and motivation-to the nonhuman Science considers anthropomorphism towurd animals a grave mistalkce,even a sin.Not only are the emotions of animals not a respectable field of study.the words associated with emotion are not supposed to be applied to them.Why is it controversial to discuss the inner lives of animals their emotional capacities,feeling of joy,disappointment,nostalgia,and sadness?Anthropologist Jane Goodall wrote about this very issue in her work with chimpanzees.In the early 1960s.Goodall. through lengthy observation,found that chimpanzces had similar emotioes to humans,reacting in much the same way as humans In writing about her findings,she used such words as'childhood,' 'adolescence.''motivation.''excitement,'and'mood,'when reporting on the emotional behaviour of the chimparzees she studied.Scicntists,however,criticizod her saying that to suggest chimpanzees had 'personalities'was ahsurd.Goodall's study in anthropomorphism was attached 5.Despite the discrepancies,Goodall was hungry to learn more about animal emotions, so she started researching accounts of specific animals Among the first people she asked about the emotional lives of animals were researchers working with dolphins Dolphins show such delight in performing.even in creating new performances of their own,that an elaborate emotional component seems obvious.And yet.when she asked scholars of dolphin behavior about their experience with the emotions the dolphins express.they were umilling to speculate.or even to offer observations.One said,"I don't know what emoniow means"Another referred the matter to his female graduate students.implying that the subject was somchow beneath scientific (or male) dignity. 6 What these scholars said was undermined by what they did.In fact one hugged his prize dolphin in a clearly emotional moment The other could hardly leave at night,so attached had he become to what he called his"sbjects"It is hard to believe that these scientists would express intense feelings toward creatures they genuinely felt were uable of feeling emotions,and could not return their feelings or respond to them in any way. 7.Most ordinary people who have direct contact with animals,on the other hand,freely admit the reality of animal emotions.Their belief arises from the evidence of their senses and logical deduction.A person who hears birds attacking a cat near their nest usually experiences them as angry.When we see a squirrel flee from us,we think that it is afraid We see a cat licking its kittens and feel it loves them.Even those with only indireet experience of animals often

characteristics — thought, feeling, consciousness, and motivation — to the nonhuman. Science considers anthropomorphism toward animals a grave mistake, even a sin. Not only are the emotions of animals not a respectable field of study, the words associated with emotion are not supposed to be applied to them. Why is it controversial to discuss the inner lives of animals, their emotional capacities, feeling of joy, disappointment, nostalgia, and sadness? Anthropologist Jane Goodall wrote about this very issue in her work with chimpanzees, In the early 1960s, Goodall, through lengthy observation, found that chimpanzees had similar emotions to humans, reacting in much the same way as humans. In writing about her findings, she used such words as ‘childhood,’ ‘adolescence,’ ‘motivation,’ ‘excitement,’ and ‘mood,’ when reporting on the emotional behaviour of the chimpanzees she studied. Scientists, however, criticized her saying that to suggest chimpanzees had ‘personalities’ was absurd. Goodall’s study in anthropomorphism was attached. 5. Despite the discrepancies, Goodall was hungry to learn more about animal emotions, so she started researching accounts of specific animals. Among the first people she asked about the emotional lives of animals were researchers working with dolphins. Dolphins show such delight in performing, even in creating new performances of their own, that an elaborate emotional component seems obvious. And yet, when she asked scholars of dolphin behavior about their experience with the emotions the dolphins express, they were unwilling to speculate, or even to offer observations. One said, “I don’t know what emotion means.” Another referred the matter to his female graduate students, implying that the subject was somehow beneath scientific (or male) dignity. 6. What these scholars said was undermined by what they did. In fact, one hugged his prize dolphin in a clearly emotional moment. The other could hardly leave at night, so attached had he become to what he called his “subjects.” It is hard to believe that these scientists would express intense feelings toward creatures they genuinely felt were unable of feeling emotions, and could not return their feelings or respond to them in any way. 7. Most ordinary people who have direct contact with animals, on the other hand, freely admit the reality of animal emotions. Their belief arises from the evidence of their senses and logical deduction. A person who hears birds attacking a cat near their nest usually experiences them as angry. When we see a squirrel flee from us, we think that it is afraid. We see a cat licking its kittens and feel it loves them. Even those with only indirect experience of animals often

recognize what they see to be an emotional state,a feeling.which they correlate to a similar human feeling.In this respect.the layperson's description of animal life may be more accurate and is certainly richer than the standard behviorist's description,which shows no effort to investigate animal emotions systematically or in depth As human beings we clearly apply different standards to ourselves than to ocher animals Humans are recognized to have emotions The usual reason given is that feelings are expressed in langunge,using words like"love you"or"Iam snd."People live much of their lives according to expressions of feelings in themselves or in others.We know we have feelings because we feel moved by them,and we often express our feelings verbally. 9.

In this respect, the layperson’s description of animal life may be more accurate and is certainly richer than the standard behaviorist’s description, which shows no effort to investigate animal emotions systematically or in depth. 8. As human beings, we clearly apply different standards to ourselves than to other animals. Humans are recognized to have emotions. The usual reason given is that feelings are expressed in language, using words like “I love you” or “I am sad.” People live much of their lives according to expressions of feelings in themselves or in others. We know we have feelings because we feel moved by them, and we often express our feelings verbally. 9. It is true that most animals have no speech that humans yet understand.

13. The basic philosophy in the research community seems to be that if something does not feel pain in the way a human feels pain, it is permissible to hurt it. Animal experimenters will almost inevitably deny that animals suffer in the same way humans do, otherwise they would be admitting cruelty. It has been argued that humans experience pain more acutely because we remember and anticipate it; yet it is not apparent that animals cannot do both. But even if they cannot remember or anticipate pain, there is no reason to suppose that they suffer any less than humans do, and isn’t the fact that they suffer at all enough?

(20 points, 2 points each) Passage 4 The English Character 1 The English, as a race, have the reputation of being very different form all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities. 2 Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. When he encounters strangers or foreigners he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An English wit, pretending to be giving ad vice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “ On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behaviour, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. 3 It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological experts – the weathermen – who, after promising glorious, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when an anti-cyclone over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts!
