Some questions have 2 options, others have 5. See how many you can do in 8 minutes Accountants have shown how simple it is to inflate profits artificially by manipulating accounting standards, while the stock market demonstrates that such artificial inflation will be followed by natural deflation: many companies have been humbled by falling profits and share prices. Certainly, accounting standards are as much to blame as accountants, but the heart of the problem is that tension between the interests of management and those of shareholders is almost invariably resolved in favour of management. Share holders notionally have the right to vote against the re-election of auditors, but they never do, and it is the management that signs the cheques. It is desirable for the accounting profession to police itself more effectively and for share holders to take more seriously their responsibility for the election of auditors. However, neither is likely to happen. Which of the following best replaces the word notionally (line7)? A. actually B. theoretically C. figuratively D. legally E. naturally 2. Why is it unlikely according to the passage that the accounting profession will begin policing itself more effectively? A. the accounting profession has insufficient resources. B. The management of companies would prevent this. C. The accounting profession would lose profit. D. The accounting profession does not want share holders to become involved in electing auditors. E. Cannot say. 3.Which one of the following summarises the overall message of the passage? A. Share holders should become more actively involved in company proceeding than at present.

B. Management should not be more influential than shareholders in the appointment of external advisors. C. Auditors activities should not be controlled by the purse but by professional ethics. D. Manipulation of accounting standards is ultimately undesirable and should be prevented. E. Inflation and deflation are not always caused by legitimate influences. 4.Can it be inferred from the passage that most companies overstate their profits? A. Yes B. No The government has recently attempted to integrate the environmental clean up of industry under one umbrella. To minimized environmental damage, the volume of pollutants emitted from a plant has to be authorized by an official pollution control inspectorate. Industry has complained repeatedly about the time and cost of getting operations approved under the new system. The inspectors maintain, however, that industry often has itself to blame for delays as many applications provide insufficient data. Industry has also worried about public access to the information it supplies to get authorization. Information can only be withheld from public registers on the grounds of commercial confidentiality, if a company can prove it would be disadvantaged by disclosure. 5. For which two of the following reasons was the new pollutions control system set up? A. To provide an integrated approach to pollutions control B. To reduce the number of toxins utilized by industry. C. To maintain the quantity of contaminants at an acceptable level. D. To ensure that each industrial company operates competitively. E. To enable applications to be authorized quickly. 6. Is it true according to the passage that obtaining authorization on operations results in having to divulge confidential information to competitors? A. Yes B. No 7.Can it be inferred from the passage that industry has not welcomed the introduction of the official pollution control inspectorate? A. Yes B. No 8.According to the passage, how accurate is the statement, There would be no environmental destruction if there were no pollutants? A. Definitely true B. Likely to be true C. Likely to be untrue D. Definitely untrue

A. Passage Comprehension [1 x 7 = 7 Marks] Line 1. A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help predict earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences within a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably. Line 5. Scientists believe that animals can perceive environmental changes several hours or even days before the mishaps. Animals were notes as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan, earthquake. An hour before the disaster, domestic animals refused to go indoors and dogs howled and barked furiously. In 1960, an earthquake struck Agadir in Morocco. Survivors recall that stray animals, including dogs, were seen streaming out of town before the earthquake. In a safari zoo nearSan Francisco, llamas would not eat the evening before a 1979 quake, and they ran around wildly all night. Line 12. Unusual animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries. British Admiral Robert Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Conception, Chile, in 1835. An hour and half later, dogs were seen fleeing, and ten minutes later the town was destroyed. Similar stories of chickens running around in apparent states of panic, horses trembling and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquake destruction in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico and the Unites States. Line 18. In 1976, after monitoring bizarre animal behavior, the Chinese predicted a devastating earthquake. Although hundreds of thousand of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of others people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level. 1. What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior? a. An impending earthquake b. The number of people who will die c. The ten-kilometer radium from the epicenter d. The fact that an earthquake has occurred. 2. The author implies that animals are aware of an impending earthquake because a. Of their intelligence b. They have certain instinctive abilities to perceive that human do not possess c. They are generally closer to the epicenter than the human observers d. They react to other animal behaviors 3. The word evacuate in line 20 closest in meaning to a. remove b. exile c. Destroy d. emaciate 4. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT a. some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake b. by observing animal behavior scientist perhaps can predict earthquakes c. the Chines have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved may lives d. only dogs and horses seem to possess the special perception that allows them to predict earthquakes 5. In line 3 the word epicenter is nearest in meaning to a. stratosphere b. Contour

c. Periphery d. Core 6. The passage implies that if scientist can accurately predict earthquakes there will be a. fewer animal going crazy b. a lower death rate c. fewer people evacuated d. fewer environmental changes 7. In line 18 devastating means most nearly the same as a. destructive b. voracious c. intense d. forthcoming I. Logical and Analytical Reasoning Ability: A.
