Walt Whitman, born in New York, in 1819, was one of America’s unusual
literary figures. As an individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing people
and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied;
at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was
a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by caring for the
wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the
country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried throughout his poems. In
1855 he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume,
“Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and rewrote all the rest of his life. The book
was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by others, probably because his
verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new
poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until after
his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has
greatly influenced modern poets.

A. visiting the countryside

A. accepted him
B. communicated with him
C. praised him
D. laughed at him
29. We can assume that Whitman was ignored because he ……..
A. wrote in a new form
B. ramble through the countryside
C. published his poems
D. rewrote his book
30. The word “rambled” is most similar to the meaning of ……..

Section B : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow; circle your choice
England’s highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, situated high in the hills of Yorkshire wakes up on six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who simple want to catch a train from the highest station to its platforms.
But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end. Dent station is situated on the Settel to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most scenic in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from the British Rail’s cash problems.
This year, for he sake of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put to another route.
It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Bridge, built on a grand scale a century ago, is failing down. It is not alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The problem is a born out system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages. The wooden supports for she tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old.
On major lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to maintain them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead, speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer than necessary and discouraging customers.
If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another source. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Building station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were estimated at 200,000 pounds Just for one bridge and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised when to local councils offered half that between them.
- Since 1970 Dent station has been used a.only for a part of each year b.only in some years c.only by local people d.only by hill walkers
- Of all the railway routes in Britain the on which passes through Dent a.in the most historic b.passes through the most attractive countryside c. is the mist expensive number of tourists d.carries the greatest number of tourists
- The most urgent problem for many country railway lines is that a.rebuilding bridges B. repairing engines c.renewing coaches D. repairing station
- The people most affected by the difficulties facing the British Rail would appear to be a.businessmen b.organized groups c.occasional and local travelers d.holiday-makers
- In order to improve the financial situation of the country railway lines, British Rail should a.introduce speed limits b.reduce scale of maintenance c.increase fares d.appeal to local councils

Section B : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow; circle your choice.
Many factors contribute to the gradual spread of language-chiefly political and military might, economic power, and religious influence (all of which artificial languages lack). These same factors mean that the development of a world language is not viewed with enthusiasm by those who would have to learn it. Such a language, it could be argued, would give its culture an unprecedented influence in world affairs and scientific research. For example, scientists who used it as a mother tongue would be in a privileged position: they would not have to spend time learning it and would more easily assimilate ideas expressed in it. Further more, it is thought, a world language would inevitably erode the status of minority language and pose a threat to the identity of the nations. Many people thus view the current progress of English towards world-language status with concern and often with antagonism.
Ironically, the main danger to the growth of a world language comes from within. As the language becomes used in all corners of the world, by people from all walks of life, so it begins to develop new spoken varieties which are need by local people as symbols of their identity. In the course of time these varieties might become mutually unintelligible. How far this diversification will effects English cannot be predicted. It is not easy to weigh the trend towards unity that results from increased modern contacts through travel and communications. A hundred years ago, predictions were being made that British and American English would be mutually unintelligible. Linguistic predictions have a habit of being wrong.
- According to the writer what is the feature of an artificial language?
- It threatens the identification of a particular nation.
- It is more easily learnt.
- It has no religious influence.
- It can spread more quickly than a natural language.
- What does the writer see as the train drawback of a world language?
- Everybody has to learn it.
- It is easily assimilated .
- It favors its native culture.
- Scientists can win many privileges.
- According to this text what is notable about the growth of English?
- It strengthens small nations.
- People come to value minority languages more.
- It is not always popular.
- Its adoption is essential to progress.
- According to the writer what seems to happen when a language spreads?
- It may be transformed.
- People no longer understand each other.
- The educational system has to change.
- It encourages cultural standardization.
- What does the writer conclude?
- It is possible to predict the future of English.
- British and American English will become mutually unintelligible.
- English will break up into new varieties.
- Modem communications may favor the unity of English.

Fran And a couple of tablespoon of butter. Heat the milk and melt the butter into the milk.
Anton Mm. Right
Fran Pour that into the flour and stir it around with a wooden spoon until it’s a nice, light doughy mix.
Anton Then?
Fran And then lift that out of the bowl onto some flour on a board. I roll it lightly with a rolling pin, and then cut into squares and put them onto a baking tray. Then I bake them in a pretty hot oven for about ten to fifteen minutes.
Anton Right. And that’s it?
Fran And there they are on your plate.
Anton Mm. They are fabulous
Fran Yes. You can put butter on, jam, cream, whatever you like, really.
Anton So you use whole meal flour or …?
Fran Half and half.
Anton Half whole meal, half white. Right. OK. Well, I might try that. They don’t look too difficult.
Fran I hope they work well.
Part 3:
Mei.
I am sending you this description of where the jade horse in hidden. If anything should happen to me, the horse belongs to you and out sister, Winnie. It’s been in our family for many generations and is worth more then one million dollars.
I had a letter from Winnie recently with her new address in Australia. Her married name is Sung. Her address is 26 Middle Road. New South Wales, Australia.
Now the horse is buried in the small forest about two kilometers from my village of Yangshuo. Follow the road north from the village and take the first turn on the left. That’s north out of the village and first left turn. Walk past the small temple on your left and continue walking until you come to a lake. So keep walking past the temple until you reach the lake. Cross the lake on the stepping stones and walking along the path until you come to a river. Have you got that – over the lake on the stepping stones and along the path to the river. Walk across the bridge, turn right and climb up the steps. The steps lead to a waterfall. Behind the waterfall is a small cave. So that’s up the steps to the waterfall and then go into the small cave. The jade horse is buried at the back of the cave. Good luck!
