Section B

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
There were several reasons behind our decision to move to Flemington. The first occurred about 18 months ago when we were living in a one-bedroom apartment and decided to move into larger quarters before we had a baby. We began to look at houses at reasonable prices. Then, much sooner than expected, I got pregnant. Soon after that, Mark’s company announced that they were relocating to Flemington, about 90 miles south of us. Mark’s company had been good to him, and it was one of the few around with excellent benefits, family-friendly politics, and a child-care center on site. With a baby on the way, these things were essential for us. So we began looking at real estate in Flemington and also did some research on their school system as well as the overall community. We were very excited about what we found—reasonable housing costs, great schools, and a lively town. We’ll be moving about a month before the baby is due. Let’s hope he doesn’t decide to come early.

12. Which statement is NOT TRUE about Mark’s company?
13. How did they feel about what they had found in Flemington?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
The word “university” comes from the Latin word “universitas”, meaning “the whole”. In the Middle Ages, the word meant “an association of teachers and scholars”. The origins of universities can be traced back to the 12th to 14th centuries. In the early 12th century, students gathered together for higher studies at certain centers of learning. The earliest centers in the Europe were at Bolonia in Italy, founded in 1088. Other early centers were set up in France, Austria and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The first universities in Britain were Oxford and Cambridge. They were established in 1185 and 1209 respectively. The famous London University was founded in 1836. This was followed by the foundation of several universities such as Manchester and Birmingham. It was in the 1960s that the largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This expansion took three basic forms: existing universities were enlarged, new universities were developed from existing colleges and completely new universities were set up. In Britain, finance for universities comes from three sources: the first, and the largest source, is from the government, the second source is fees paid by students and the third one is private donations. All the British universities except one receive some government funding. The exception is Buckingham, Britain’s only independent university.

14. When was London University set up?
15. Why was the 1960s so important for British higher education?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
