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 non-poisonous bite is to identify the snake. A non-poisonous 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

C)completely in the long term 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

The word 'politics' comes from the Latin politia, meaning 'policy', and politics is generally defined as the science or art of government. Politics has played ah 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.

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, 'crude' - latex is extensively used in industry for making foam rubber, products. footwear, dolls etc. Untreated crude rubber is naturally soft and lacks the required strength for making into manufactured articles.

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. 43-It can be determined from the passage that……………… .

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 non-poisonous bite is to identify the snake. A non-poisonous 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 D)work directly with snakes or worship using them E)are very religious and don't think they'll be bitten 47-The passage informs us that in the USA ……….. . 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 C)completely in the long term 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 B)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 'politics' comes from the Latin politia, meaning 'policy', and politics is generally defined as the science or art of government. Politics has played ah 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 D)has always been a very expensive business E)is a much more interesting subject than history 50-Obviously, during the Greek and Roman eras, there were short periods…………. .

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, 'crude' - latex is extensively used in industry for making foam 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. 52-From its description, we can say that latex………… . A)is a hard substance similar to rubber B)must be a fairly thin, white liquid C)is almost entirely pure rubber D)is a by-product of rubber E)is less useful than crude rubber 53-It~s stated in the passage that untreated crude rubber is not used in industry, because…….. . A)its content of sulphur carries a nasty odour B)its milky colour is undesirable C)it lacks any kind of elasticity D)it's neither hard nor strong enough 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 tubber can be separated from water by being heated at high temperatures The origins of a written literature can be found in most of the civilisations of the ancient world; in India. China and among the Jewish people, whose great work of literature is the Old Testament of the Bible. However, it is the Greeks whose literature is taken to represent the start of Western literature. Their greatest single contribution was drama, a form of literature that has continued undiminished to the present day. Other literary forms that developed from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans onward have been poetry in its many different styles and forms, the essay, biography and autobiography, and the novel. Other types of written work from these periods, dealing with such matters as history, philosophy, politics, religion, science and criticism may also be classified as literature from the point of view of style. 55- We understand from the passage that………. .
