Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral<br /> speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign<br /> language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute<br /> have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very<br /> picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.<br /> <br /> 3<br /> <br /> Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or<br /> unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A<br /> nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.<br /> Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read<br /> with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs<br /> also guide, warm, and instruct people.<br /> While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also<br /> express human thoughts and feelings.<br /> Question 36: Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among<br /> blind people?<br /> A. Picture signs<br /> B. Braille<br /> C. Signal flags<br /> D. Body language<br /> Question 37: The word “these” I the first paragraph refers to ________.<br /> A. thoughts and feelings<br /> B. tourists<br /> C. the deaf and the mute<br /> D. sign language motions<br /> Question 38: Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used<br /> internationally EXCEPT for _______.<br /> A. spelling<br /> B. ideas<br /> C. whole words<br /> D. expressions<br /> Question 39: The word “wink” in the second paragraph means most nearly the same<br /> as______.<br /> A. close one eye briefly<br /> B. close two eyes briefly<br /> C. shake the head from side to side<br /> D. bob the head up and down<br /> Question 40: Which of the following best summarizes this passage?<br /> A.

He is a man who believes that he must do<br /> something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered<br /> animals, and he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero<br /> and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal.<br /> On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea<br /> Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic<br /> 4<br /> <br /> Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their<br /> prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a<br /> result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its<br /> home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.<br /> The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the<br /> crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they<br /> killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the<br /> whale meat in countries where it is eaten.<br /> Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra.<br /> However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the<br /> Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone<br /> who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the<br /> whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his<br /> actions were controversial.<br /> Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also<br /> fighting to protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their<br /> governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for<br /> the environment, they will act to protect it.<br /> Question 43: According to the reading, an environmental activist is someone who ____<br /> A. runs into whaling ship<br /> B. does something to protect the Earth<br /> C. talks about protecting endangered species<br /> D. is a hero, like Paul Watson<br /> Question 44: When something is controversial , ____<br /> A. everyone agrees with it<br /> B. everyone disagrees with it<br /> C. people have different ideas about it<br /> D. people protect it<br /> Question 45: The members of a ship’s crew are ____.<br /> A. the men and women who work on the ship B. the people who work on the airplanes<br /> C. all of the people on a ship, including the passengers D. the people who own the ship<br /> Question 46: The Sea Shepherd was hunting ____<br /> A. the Atlantic Ocean<br /> B. whales<br /> C. the Sierra<br /> D.
