Las preguntas de esta prueba se basan en el contenido dé su libro de texto Inglés Unidades XXXIII — XL.

PRIMERA PARTE Esta parte de la prueba consta de 6 preguntas, de la 1 a la 6. A continuación se le presentan dos textos que usted deberá leer con atención y, EXCLUSIVAMENTE con base en ellos, contestará las preguntas de esta parte.

At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz left a remarkable body of writing—religious,

courtly, and popular poems in a wide variety of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and secular plays; a long epistemological poem, “Primero sueño”; and an autobiographical essay, the ‘Respuesta a Sor Filotea”, which, to date, remains the most reliable literary portrait we have of this woman of genius.

What we know of Sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further information. We are

unsure of the date of her birth. We do not know whether she ever knew her father. We know approximately when she was sent to Mexico City to live with her mother’s sister, but not why. We can approximate the dates of her life in court under the protection and patronage of the Marqués and Marquesa de Mancera, but we know nothing of the everyday details of those years. We can only speculate as to why at the height of her popularity and in the full flush of her beauty she left the court to enter the convent. In addition to the guesses we can make from her writing, and besides the autobiographical “Respuesta”, and the nearly contemporary biography written by Father Diego Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her family, and a few papers concerning Sor Juana’s entrance into and subsequent professions of faith in first the Carmelite Order, and then the Convent of Saint Jerome, where she died.

“Sor Juana Inés” by Margaret Sayers

Who was Dame Agatha Christie? Her father was a rich American financier, but she grew up in the English countryside among the genteel upper middle—class society she describes so well in bar books. During the First World War, she married Colonel Christie and served as a nurse. From her experience in hospitals at the time, she developed an interest in poisons which was to be so useful to her later in many of her stories. .She divorced her husband in 1928 and a few years later, married Sir Max Mallowan, a young archaeologist. She accompanied him on many of his expeditions and drew from them the plot of several of her novels. Agatha Christie started writing just after World War I, as a kind of challenge. She had no success with her first book, which no publisher wanted to take and which did not sell very well. It was only with the publication of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd in 1926 that she suddenly becarne well—known and started to reach fame.

At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz left a remariable body of writing-religious, courtly, and popular poems in a wide variety of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and secular plays; a long epistemological poem, “Primero Sueño”; and an autobiographical essay, the “Respuesta a Sor Filotea”, which, to date, remains the most reliable literary portrait we have of this womanof genius. What we snow of sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further information. We are unsure of the date of her birth. We do not know whether she know her father. We know approximately when she was sent to México City to live with her mother’s sister, but not why. We can approximate the dates of her life in court under the protection and patronage of the Marques and Marquesa de Mancera, but we I now nothing of the everyday datails of those years. We can only speculate as to why at the height of her popularity and in the full flush of the beauty she left the court to enter the convent. In addition to the guesses we can make from her writing, and besides the autobiographical “Respuesta”, and the nearly contemporany biography written by Father Diego Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her family, and a few papers concenning Sor Juana’s entrance into and subsequent professions of faith in first the Carmelite Order, and then the Convent af Saint Jerome, where she died.

“Sor Juana Inés” by Margaret Sayers (adapted)

27. – According to the text, biographical material on Sor Juan Inés is: a) Accurate in its general content. Abundant in cronological information. b) Distorted for the study of her work. Insufficient for understanding her life. 28. – The reasons Sor Juana entered the convent are: a) Clear dubious unknown mystical. 29. – When the author says “the most reliable literary portrart", he means that. a) the information is true the details are perfect the details are correct the information is trustful. It was reported that the number of deaths caused by railways in one year was 4,712. That sounds like a good argument for staying off trains, perhaps for keeping to your cars instead. But when you look at the figure more closely, you learn that 5 it means something quite different. Nearly half the victims were people whose cars crashed with trains at crossings. Only one hundred and thirty-two were passenger on trains. And even that figure is worth little for the purposes of comparison unless you also have information on total passenger 10 miles.

At her death in 1695 Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz left a remarkable body of

writing—religious, courtly, and popular poems in a wide variety of verse forms; intellectual treatises; religious and secular plays; a long epistemological poem, “Primero sueño”; and an autobiographical essay, the ‘Respuesta a Sor Filotea”, which, to date, remains the most reliable literary portrait we have of this woman of genius.

What we know of Sor Juana merely awakens our appetite for further

information. We are unsure of the date of her birth. We do not know whether she ever knew her father. We know approximately when she was sent to Mexico City to live with her mother’s sister, but not why. We can approximate the dates of her life in court under the protection and patronage of the Marqués and Marquesa de Mancera, but we know nothing of the everyday details of those years. We can only speculate as to why at the height of her popularity and in the full flush of her beauty she left the court to enter the convent. In addition to the guesses we can make from her writing, and besides the autobiographical “Respuesta”, and the nearly contemporary biography written by Father Diego Callejas, we have only a handful of birth, death, and marriage records relating to her family, and a few papers concerning Sor Juana’s entrance into and subsequent professions of faith in first the Carmelite Order, and then the Convent of Saint Jerome, where she died.









Statistics show that rapid population, growth creates problems for developing countries. So why don´t people have fewer children ? statistics from the developed countries suggest that it is only then people´s living standards begin to risk that birth rates begin to fall. There are good reasons for this. Poor countries cannot afford social services and old age pensions, and people´s income are so low they have nothing to spare for saving. As a result, people, look to their children to provide them with security in their old age. Living in a large family can be a form of insurance. And even while they are still quite young. Children can do a lot of lawful jobs on a small farm, so poor people in a developing country will need to have better conditions ahead, before they think having smaller families, but their conditions cannot be improved unless there is a reduction in the rates at which population is increasing. This depend on a very such wider acceptance of family planning and this, will mean a basic change in attitude. Taken from: Roding for Adults. By R. Luis, Mc. Vincent and S. wair. 4.

People have always found ways to destroy themselves. They went from stones and sticks

arrows. Then came guns—much more powerful. Finally, people made atomic bombs. These are a danger to us and to the earth.

In some places, people have damaged land by too much farming or too much grazing. Without

grass or trees, rain may wash away the soil. Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. But people have found another way to harm themselves arid the earth. It doesn’t blow up.

There is no loud noise. In fact, people don’t even know it happens. It is done by chance, but it´s here. It is pollution: the poisoning of the water, hand and air. The poisons are chemicals, garbage, and wastes of all kinds.

Air is dirtied by smoke and by the gases from automobiles and airplanes. Soil may be harmed

by chemicals. Rivers and lakes are polluted. So are the oceans where cities are on the chores. Wastes have even been found floating in parts of the middle of the oceans. There they kill the small plants and animals that fish need for food.

Think about the last time you went swimming in a river or a lake. Did the water really look clear

and pure? Dr was it dirty and unpleasant to swim in? What do you see when you look out your window in the morning or early evening? Is there a line of haze*? Can you see the hills, mountains, or buildings clearly?. Is anyone doing anything to clean up the air? How many ugly junkyards** are there in your neighborhood? Why are they there?
