Cultural beliefs differ as to whether directness or indirectness
is considered positive. In the mainstream American culture,
the ideal (33) ____ of communication includes being direct
rather than indirect (“ideal" here means that the culture
values this style, although not everyone speaks directly).
There are several expressions in English (34) ____ emphasize
the importance of being direct: “Get to the point! Don't beat
around the bush! Let's get down to business!" These sayings
all indicate the importance of dealing directly with issues
rather than (35) ____ them. One way to determine whether a
culture favors a direct or indirect style in communication is to
find out how the people in that culture express

disagreement or how they say, “No”. In Japan, there are at
least fifteen ways of saying “No”, without actually saying the
word. Similarly, in Japan, it would be (36) ____ rude to say
directly “I disagree with you” or “You're wrong”.
Many Americans believe that "honesty is the best policy" and
their communication style reflects this. Honesty and
directness in communication are strongly related. It is not a
(37) ____, then, to find out that cultural groups misjudge
each other based on different beliefs about directness and
honesty in communication.

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.
In the early 1800s, less than 3% of the world's population
lived in cities; today, more than half of the global population
is urban and by 2050, the proportion will rise to three
quarters. There are thousands of small and medium-sized
cities along with more than 30 megacities and sprawling,

networked metropolitan areas with 15 million residents or
more. Yet despite these massive transformations in how
people live and interact, our international affairs are still
largely dictated by national states, not cities.
       Cities are beginning to flex their muscles on the
international stage. They are already displacing nation states
as the central nodes of the global economy, generating close
to 80% of global GDP. Cities like New York and Tokyo are
bigger in GDP terms than many G-20 countries. Metropolitan
regions and special economic zones are linking global cities
through transnational supply chains. A growing number of
mega-regions, such as those linking cities in Mexico and the
U.S., transcend borders. In the process, cities are collectively
forging common regional plans, trading partnerships, and
infrastructure corridors.

The spectacular rise of cities did not happen by accident.
Cities channel creativity, connect human capital, and when
well governed, they drive growth. That many cities and their
residents are rolling up their sleeves and getting things done
- where nations have failed - are grounds for optimism. In the
future, we hope that it is our proximate, accountable, and
empowered city leaders who will define our fates.
Question 38. What is the passage mainly about?
A. History of cities all over the world
B. Types of cities in the world
C. Contributions of cities to the world
D. The not-to-distant future of cities

Question 39. Which of the following is NOT true according
to the writer?
A. Humanity transitioned from a rural to a primarily urban
species at breathtaking speed.
B. Cities are the dominant form of human civilization in the
21st century.
C. There is a tendency for cities to connect to form large
urban regions.
D. People should not be too optimistic about the future of
cities.
Question 40. The phrase "flex their muscles" in paragraph 2
is closest in meaning to ____.
A. show their strength
B. change their attitudes
C. leave their side
D. find their ways

Question 41. Would the following sentence best be placed
at the end of which paragraph? This is neither fair nor
rational.
A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D.
Paragraph 4

A. plans

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.
Australia has a well-organized and well-structured
education system. The education starts at the age of five or
six, but it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It
starts with the preschool education which is not

compulsory and can be offered within a school or
separately.
The primary and secondary school encompasses the
compulsory education for Australians. There are a large
number of primary and high schools across the country
with most of them being public schools. It is estimated that
public schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to
40% in private settings. All these education providers must
be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain
requirements including infrastructure and teaching.
Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public
institutions.
The Australian education system has established a standard
curriculum so all scholars will be given the same quality of
education. Despite there may be some states at which this

curriculum is modified a bit, but the change is not that
significant. The actual curriculum set out in Australia
education system is based on important abilities one must
have in his life: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and
communication technology, Critical and creative thinking,
personal and social capability, ethical understanding,
intercultural understanding.
Vocational and Technical schools prepare students that
want to skip the university and want to move directly to
the job market. Actually, here it stands the difference
between universities and colleges: the Vocational and
Technical Schools are more oriented in teaching practical
skills while university courses are mainly theory-based to
lead students to different academic careers. There are
hundreds of other schools out there that provide technical

and further education (TAFE) and vocational education and
training (VET). These schools offer short courses,
certificates I through IV, diplomas, and advanced diplomas.
They focus on training their students in a particular
vocation or just to help their students get out into the
workplace. These schools offer a wide variety of courses
and qualifications attained by these courses can lead to
different career pathways to follow afterward.
Australian higher education modernity and reputation
relies on a huge number of educational providers including
universities and different training organizations. Currently,
there are 43 universities across the country. The vast
majority of universities are public except two private
universities. The world-class teaching offered is surely
undisputed. Seven Australian universities are traditionally

found at the top 100 best universities in the world which is
a sufficient indicator to highlight their quality.
Besides universities, more than 5,000 training organizations
are registered and accredited. Actual figures show that the
number of enrolled students is around 3.8 million with
international students sharing more than half a million.
There are also 3 self-accrediting higher education
institutions. Furthermore, dozens of smaller schools do not
grant any degrees or have an accreditation – these are
private schools that focus on theology, business,
information technology, natural therapies, hospitality,
health, law, and accounting.
