each of the questions.
In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new
baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the child. In Kenya, the
mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the
cattle are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the
child his or her name.
In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother
takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and
family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold
initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When
children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs,
songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children
from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may
have to carry out several tests.
Maasai boys
around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage
initiation. The first stage lasts about three months. The boys leave their
parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young
warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are
also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long
and live in a camp called a “manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild
animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years.
When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large
cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen
or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and
how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life

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.
What picture
do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same
as now? What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists
predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields,
from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will
have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a program from a 'menu' and a
computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use
the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer
thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and
books will come to us by computer.
In what
concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems.
In many places, agriculture is changing and farmers are growing fruit and
vegetables to export. This uses a lot of water. Demand for water
will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious
shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In
transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the
speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that
tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car
and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take
people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States
Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will
fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles
to Tokyo in
just two hours.
In the
domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many
factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots - they
do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By
2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices,
hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not
least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.
Today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help
people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see and
hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already
produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones
of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence
they have.
Question 35: The passage mainly discusses ________________.
A. The effect
of the futurologists' prediction on our lives. B.
The effect of telecommunication on our future life.

in our future life compared with our life today. D. The importance of cloning in the future.

in 2050 according to the passage?

C. People will
not suffer from the shortage of water due to the polar melting.

will not have to depend any longer on the electronic hearing devices.

that in 2050 ________________.
A. People will be able to travel
around the world in two hours.

will be used to keep the environment green and clean.
C. No one will

To encourage the workers to resign from work.
