The Normans originally came from Scandinavia and were of Viking
descent. During the tenth century they invaded and conquered the
northern part of France, which is still called Normandy. In the next
century, under William the Conqueror, they invaded and subdued
England. This event brought about the end of Saxon England and
saw the start of a new era of English history, with new forms of
architecture and a new form of social and political order called the
feudal system. It is interesting to note that while William was
conquering England, other Norman chiefs sailed down the coast of
France and Spain, entered the Mediterranean Sea and conquered
Sicily and some parts of southern Italy. Norman knights from
France and Italy also played a leading role in the Crusades.

Each year, about 7,000 people in the United States are bitten by
poisonous snakes. Fewer than a dozen of these persons die, but
many are left with disability of a limb and scarring at the site of the
bite. Persons at greatest risk are those who handle snakes for
purposes of entertainment, religion or science. Outside the high
risk group, hunters, farmers and fishermen are the most likely to be
bitten. The best way to tell the difference between a poisonous and a
nonpoisonous bite is to identify the snake. A nonpoisonous bite
doesn't usually cause much pain or swelling, though the wound
may bleed freely. When there is any doubt as to whether the snake
is venomous, presume that the bite was poisonous and take
precautions.
46- According to the passage, the people who have the highest
chance of being bitten by a snake are those who ....... .
A) hunt animals for sport or who deal with farming
B) try to catch snakes and put them in captivity
C) are unable to distinguish between different snakes

A) fewer than twelve people die of snakebites annually,
although many people are bitten
B) people who have been bitten by snakes get rid of its effects
completely in the long term
C) only twelve percent of those who have been bitten by snakes
lose their lives
D) farmers and fishermen are more likely to be bitten by
snakes than entertainers using snakes
E) many people bitten by snakes are too afraid to revisit the
place where it happened
48- The author suggests that if you have been bitten, and haven't
managed to identify the snake, .......... .
A) you shouldn't panic but should wait to see whether the bitten
area will swell or not
B) you should make the wound bleed in order to remove any
poison
C) you can assume you're not at risk if the bite doesn't hurt a lot
D) it is doubtful that the snake that bit you was venomous
E) you should be treated as if the snake was poisonous

The word 'polities' comes from the Latin politia, meaning 'policy',
and politics is generally defined as the science or art of
government. Politics has played an increasing part in human
affairs since men and women first organised themselves into
societies, and most of history is an account of politics in one form
or another. There were brief periods of relatively free or
representative government during the Greek and Roman eras. But
until the seventeenth century, politics was mostly the concern of
powerful monarchs or other people in positions of high authority,
such as church leaders. The rise of political parties during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries introduced the concept of
government by consent rather than by force.
49- In the writer's opinion, politics ........ .
A) has always been dominated by monarchs or religious
leaders
B) has had little effect on ordinary
people since the beginning of history
C) is really what a great deal of history is about

B) when people didn't have to give taxes to the government
C) which were completely free from any kind of politics
D) when government members all came from the same royal
family

A) government and politics were always in the hands of kings
B) there was a change in that governments started to rule
by force
C) church leaders began to govern countries instead of
kings
D) the state of politics was a cause of great concern to most
leaders
E) a radical change in the concept of government began to
take place

Rubber trees are tapped — that is, cuts are made in the bark so
that the latex, a milk-like juice, containing about 30-40% rubber,
can be obtained. The latex Is then processed by exposing it to
heat and wood smoke, or by mechanical means, so as to separate
the rubber from the water, mineral salts, sugars, resins and
protein matters. The rubber obtained in this way is known as
'crude1. Latex is extensively used in industry for making pure rubber
products, footwear, dolls etc. Untreated crude rubber is naturally
soft and lacks the required strength for making into manufactured
articles. To improve its strength and usefulness, it is vulcanised,
or heated with sulphur, and the proportion of sulphur used
determines the hardness and elasticity of the rubber.

E) it contains far too many impurities
54- In the process of vulcanisation, the principle is that ........ .
A) the heat applied to the mixture should be high enough
for rapid evaporation
B) the sulphur contained in the rubber should be extracted as
much as possible
C) how hard or flexible the rubber becomes depends on its
sulphur content
D) the more sulphur is used, the harder and the more
elastic the rubber becomes
E) the rubber can be separated from water by being
heated at high temperatures
