SHAMASH SECONDARY SCHOOL Entrance to 4th Secondary (B Section) Subject: English Language. Time: 8.00.-10.00. (2 hours) Class: 3rd Intermediate. [Marginalia] ⟦٩٢٢⟧ ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS I. Read the following passage and then answer the questions below it. My pupil was a lively child, who had been spoilt and indulged, and therefore was sometimes wayward; but as she was committed entirely to my care, and no injudicious interference from any quarter ever thwarted my plans for her improvement, she soon forgot her little freaks, and became obedient and teachable. She had no great talents, no marked traits of character, no peculiar development of feeling or taste which raised her one inch above the ordinary level of childhood; but neither had she any deficiency or vice which sunk her below it. She made reasonable progress, entertained for me a vivacious, though perhaps not very profound, affection; and by her simplicity, gay prattle, and efforts to please, inspired me, in return, with a degree of attachment sufficient to make us both content in each other's society. This will be thought cool language by persons who entertain solemn doctrines about the angelic nature of children, and the duty of those charged with education to conceive for them an idolatrous devotion; but I am not writing to flatter paternal egotism, to echo cant, or prop up humbug; I am merely telling the truth. I felt a conscientious solicitude for my pupil's welfare and progress, and a quiet liking for her little self, but nothing more. Anybody may blame me who likes, when I add further that I longed for a power of vision which might reach the busy world, towns, regions full of life I had heard of but never seen. I shall be called discontented. I could not help it; the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes. It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity; they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot. Women are supposed to be very calm generally; but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a constraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings and knitting stockings, to playing on the piano and embroidering bags. It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex. (a) Answer the following questions briefly in your own words as far as possible, using only information you are given in the piece:- (i) Why was it that the writer's pupil soon became obedient and teachable? (ii) Why did the writer come to feel a liking for her pupil? (iii) What kind of life are human beings dissatisfied with, according to the writer? (6 marks) (b) Explain carefully the meaning of the following phrases. (Do not be too brief in your explanations; you will probably need ten words or more to explain some of them). (i) idolatrous devotion; (ii) paternal egotism; (iii) conscientious solicitude; (iv) too absolute a stagnation. (8 marks) (Continued on page 2)
Entrance to 4th Secondary (B) (continued) English Language -2- (c) Write a summary (in your own words as far as possible) of the views expressed by the writer in the last paragraph of the passage. Do not use more than 80 words. (6 marks) II. (a) Write synonyms (one word of similar meaning) for ten of the following:- deceased, renown, solace, mute, perish, gem, verge, evince, peruse, rigid, pensive, naive, precisely, odour, hue. (10 marks) (b) Write antonyms (one word of opposite meaning) for five of the following:- frugal, shabby, dubious, obese, clammy, transparent, reluctant. (5 marks) (c) Substitute one word for ten of the following phrases:- an underground prison. (noun) hair growing on the back of a horse's neck. (noun) a narrow crack or split (in a wall or rock). (noun) a person who pretends to be virtuous. (noun) talk that may or may not be true. (noun) a reason for doing something. (noun) without energy. (adjective) having a yellowish complexion. (adjective) handle of a sword. (noun) living both on land and in water. (adjective) a room at the top of a house. (noun) to repeat again. (verb) the bones at the joints of the fingers. (noun) a person to whom one owes money.

On entendit le tonnerre, mais les nuages ne s'ouvrirent pas. l'orage, même avec de la neige, aurait été le bienvenu; tout plutôt que ce soleil trop blanc qui buvait l'eau des mares. les ruisseaux étaient secs; les fontaines baissaient; les sources des champs, qui jaillissent dans les chemins, étaient depuis longtemps sèches.

Shamash Secondary School Entrance Exam. to the 4th Scientific Class (Section A). September 1964 Subject: English Language Date: 11/9/1964 Class: Graduates of the 3rd Int. Year. Time: 8:00 - 11:00 Section A. ----- . I. Read this passage carefully and then answer the questions:- In many villages throughout Scotland the triangular emblem of the Scottish Youth Hostel Association is a welcome sight to the young walker or rambler as he completes his day's tramp through the countryside. It is astonishing how these emblems have multiplied. When the organisation was founded in 1931 there were seven; now there are seventy, and the demand for more hostels is far from satisfied. The idea behind this movement, for which enthusiasts like the late Dr. Alan Fothergill worked so hard in the early days, was a simple if inspired one. It was to bring the glories of the Scottish countryside within the reach of all young people, no matter how limited their means. The establishment, especially in the more inaccessible parts of the country, of comfortable if not luxurious hostels, where young men and women could be accommodated for the night led to a new kind of exploration. From the cities, on foot or on bicycles, a great new band of wanderers took to the hills and the moors, to find health and refreshment in the open air, and to experience the joys of a new kind of companionship. The Association, for the first time, has come before the public with an appeal for funds. To complete its projects it requires £100,000. That is a large sum, but it would be difficult to imagine a more deserving cause. Here is a body which has spread happiness among scores of thousands of young people, and has brought them health as well.... By encouraging young people to develop a wide interest in the country and its associations, the hostel movement could expand that liberal and informal education in the art and pleasures of simple living which it has already done so much to foster. QUESTIONS 1. What is the sign of the Scottish Youth Hostel Association ? 2. What are we told about the numbers of these signs, and what does this prove ? 3. Explain in a few sentences what was the idea behind the movement, indicating how the scheme actually worked. 4. Give in one short sentence the main idea in (a) paragraph I, and (b) paragraph 2. 5. Give the meaning of the following words or phrases as they are used in the passage: Association, multiplied, inspired, limited their means, luxurious, inaccessible, projects, scores, liberal, informal, foster. 6. (a) Give nouns corresponding to: complete, inspired, inaccessible, develop, expand, informal, founded, multiplied. (b) Give the adjectives corresponding to: emblem, satisfied, glories, art.

Frank Iny School Entrance Examination to 4th Year. Subject: English Language Date: 11th Sept.1964 Class: 3rd (French Section). Int. Time: 8:00-10:30 a.m. 1. Comprehension. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions: Oliver looked from one to the other with the greatest surprise; but he was not permitted to make any inquiries, for the two boys walked stealthily across the road, and slunk close behind the old gentleman towards whom his attention had been directed. Oliver walked a few paces after them, and, not knowing whether to advance or retire, stood looking on in silent amazement. The old gentleman was a very respectable looking personage, with a powdered head and gold spectacles. He was dressed in a bottle-green coat with a black velvet collar, wore white trousers, and carried a smart bamboo cane under his arm. He had taken up a book from the stall, and there he stood, reading away as hard as if he were in his elbow-chair in his own study. It is very possible that he fancied himself there, indeed; for it was plain, from his utter abstraction, that he saw not the book-stall, nor the street, nor the boys, nor, in short, anything but the book itself, which he was reading straight through, turning over the leaf when he got to the bottom of a page, beginning at the top line of the next one, and going regularly on, with the greatest interest and eagerness. What was Oliver's horror and alarm as he stood a few paces off, looking on with his eyelids as wide open as they would possibly go, to see the Dodger plunge his hand into the old gentleman's pocket, and draw from thence a handkerchief; to see him hand the same to Charley Bates; and finally to behold them both running away round the corner at full speed ! In an instant the whole mystery of the handkerchiefs, and the jewels, and the Jew, rushed upon the boy's mind. He stood for a moment, with the blood so tingling through all his veins from terror, that he felt as if he were in a burning fire; then, confused and frightened, he took to his heels, and, not knowing what he did, made off as fast as he could lay his feet to the ground. Questions: 1) Describe in your own words the appearance of the old gentleman. 2) What was he doing, and why was it so easy to rob him ? 3) Describe how the robbery was carried out. 4) What were Oliver's feelings when he saw what was happening, and what did he do ? 5) Give the meaning of the following words as they are used in the passage: stealthily, slunk, abstraction, tingling.
