PART II: READING
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading
Passage 1 below .
William Kamkwamba
At only 14 years old, William Kamkwamba built a series of windmills that
could generate electricity in his African village, Masitala, in Malawi, southeastern Africa.
In 2002, William Kamkwamba had to drop out of school, as his father, a maize and
tobacco farmer, could no longer afford his school fees. But despite this setback, William
was determined to get his education. He began visiting a local library that had just
opened in his old primary school, where he discovered a tattered science book. With
only a rudimentary grasp of English, he taught himself basic physics — mainly by
studying photos and diagrams. Another book he found there featured windmills on the
cover and inspired him to try and build his own.
He started by constructing a small model. Then, with the help of a cousin and
friend, he spent many weeks searching scrap yards and found old tractor fans, shock
absorbers, plastic pipe and bicycle parts, which he used to build the real thing.
For windmill blades, William cut some bath pipe in two lengthwise, then heated
the pieces over hot coals to press the curled edges flat. To bore holes into the blades, he
stuck a nail through half a corncob, heated the metal red and twisted it through the
blades. It took three hours to repeatedly heat the nail and bore the holes. He attached
the blades to a tractor fan using proper nuts and bolts and then to the back axle of a
bicycle. Electricity was generated through the bicycle dynamo. When the wind blew the
blades, the bike chain spun the bike wheel, which charged the dynamo and sent a
current through wire to his house.
What he had built was a crude machine that produced 12 volts and powered four
lights. When it was all done, the windmill's wingspan measured more than eight feet and sat
on top of a rickety tower 15 feet tall that swayed violently in strong gales. He eventually
replaced the tower with a sturdier one that stands 39 feet, and built a second machine that
watered a family garden.
2
The windmill brought William Kamkwamba instant local fame, but despite
his accomplishment, he was stili unable to return to school. However, news of
his magetsi a mphepo — electric wind — spread beyond Malawi, and
eventually things began to change. An education official, who had heard news
of the windmill, came to visit his village and was amazed to learn that
William had been out of school for five years. He arranged for him to attend
secondary school at the government's expense and brought journalists to the
farm to see the windmill. Then a story published in the Malawi Daily Mail
caught the attention of bloggers, which in turn caught the attention of
organisers for the Technology Entertainment and Design conference.
In 2007, William spoke at the TED Global conference in Tanzania and got a
standing ovation. Businessmen stepped forward with offers to fund his education
and projects, and with money donated by them, he was able to put his cousin and
several friends back into school and pay for some medical needs of his family.
With the donation, he also drilled a borehole for a well and water pump in his
village and installed drip irrigation in his father's fields.
The water pump has allowed his family to expand its crops. They have
abandoned tobacco and now grow maize, beans, soybeans, potatoes and
peanuts. The windmills have also brought big lifestyle and health changes to
the other villagers. 'The village has changed a lot,' William says. 'Now, the
time that they would have spent going to fetch water, they are using for doing
other things. And also the water they are drinking is clean water, so there is
less disease.' The villagers have also stopped using kerosene and can use the
money previously spent on fuel to buy other things.
William Kamkwamba's example has inspired other children in the village to
pursue science. William says they now see that if they put their mind to
something, they can achieve it. 'It has changed the way people think,' he says.

READING TEXT II
Communication in Groups
The sheer number of people in a group affects the amount of communication. Consider the
difference between communication between two friends and communication in a group of live
people. When friends talk, there are two people sending and receiving messages. In a group of
live, there are live people doing the same thing. Each idea that is expressed must be
understood by four others, who may also choose to respond. Consequently, the greater
number of people in a group, the fewer contributions any individual may make. Because there
are disadvantages to large groups, you might assume that small groups would be the most
effective.However, groups can be too small as well as 100 large. With 100 few members, a
group has limited resources, which eliminates a primary advantage of groups for decision
making. Also, in very small groups, members may be unwilling lo disagree or criticize each
other's ideas. I believe that five to seven members is the ideal size for a small group.
1. We can conclude from the reading that in large groups ----.
A) there is always a chaos at the end of each discussion
B) no one criticizes each other's ideas
C) before a decision is made everyone has to express their ideas individually
D) everyone is free to express their ideas as much as they want
E) there is less opportunity for each person to speak
2. According to the passage, small groups ----.
A) are always more successful than large groups in terms of decision
making
B) can have some disadvantages as well
C) express their criticism more freely than large groups
D) have always infinite resources
E) are unable to make a decision at the end of discussions
3. The author of the article suggests that ----.
A) the number of people in a small group must not be more than five
B) large groups are always superior to small groups
C) the ideal size for a small group should be five to seven
D) small groups are better as members of them have a chance lo criticize
each other
E) everyone should listen to each other's ideas no matter how large the
group is
