ENGLISH FINAL TEST FOR GRADE XI

A. Choose the best answer for the following questions

The following text is for the questions number 1 - 3
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste-
buds in the tongue. There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All
other tastes are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.

The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells).
These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called ‘tastes
messages. When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will
pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of
the taste. All this happens in just a few seconds.

There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular
taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue. The taste-buds for salty
and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can
be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at
the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.

The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its
taste. Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food
does not smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all. Very
hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold,
when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.

The following text is for the questions 22 - 25

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that
these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for
emergencies.

To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if
you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone,
it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a
strange neighbourhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.

My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For
example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do
some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important
information can be received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to
ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send
faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.

In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every
day life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple
press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or
emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium.

22. How many reasons are used to support the writer’s opinion?
a. One reason
b. Two reasons
 c. Three reasons

e. Five reasons

a. They can contact clients
b. They can do some important works
c. They can receive some important information
d. They can send some data and surf Internet
e. They can run business by staying in and out office

24. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

a. The advantages cellular phones during the emergencies
b. The solution to do when your car breaks down

e. The necessary equipment among neighbours

25. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

a. The advantages cellular phones during the emergencies
b. The solution to do when your car breaks down
c. The danger to leave a mobile phone in the car
d. The differences of a mobile phone and a pay phone
