Questions 25 - 28 Read the report below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Genting, Thesday - A busload of people were trapped under a sludge of mud in what is considered the worst natural disaster here in Malaysia. The mud slide on the hills lopes gave way after a heavy downpour that lasted for three days and three nights, trapping holiday-makers in the process. Most of them were on a holiday package that had Genting as a nice round-up to the tour. At the scene, the atmosphere and the faces of the people reflected the gloom and many people could be seen huddling in small groups. Some had even started camping there, much to the disapproval of the authorities. Many gathered round, hoping against hope to hear that the next survivor was a loved one or a family member. They, however, knew that as the days wore on, the chances were getting slimmer and slimmer. Members of the special rescue force have been deployed here and are working round the clock. As the heavy downpour continues, extra precautions are necessary so as to avoid another incident. At press time, there is still no news of any survivors. 25 What was the natural disaster described in the report? A A landslide B An avalanche C An earthquake D A volcano eruption 26 Genting was probably slotted A as the first stop of the trip B before the start of the trip C in the middle of the trip D at the end of the trip
27 Who do you think most of the people huddled

around were? A Rescue workers B Adventure seekers C Newspaper reporters D Relatives and friends

Questions 29 - 34 Read the letter below carefully and answer the questions that follow. No. 145, Jalan Limau Nipis, Taman Haiwan, 46300 Petaling Jaya. 20 September 2005 Dear Susan, How are you? It's been a long time since we last met. I do hope that you have recovered from the fall you had during the netball game. I hear that you will have to stay in the hospital for a while longer. We did not expect any complications to arise from the injury and we thought you would be back soon. However, Nina says that the doctors think you have broken a bone, which may be the reason why you still need crutches to get around after such a long period. I heard that the plaster is not likely to be removed soon. It must be very cumbersome as it hinders your movements. All of us here missed you at 'Cheer Malaysia!' We only realized how instrumental you were in helping us choreograph our routines. Without you, we were all so lost. Nevertheless, we did our best but we did not make it to the top five like we did last year when you were around.

Never mind, the best is yet to come. We are beginning to prepare for the annual national sports meet next year. Do you think you would have recovered by the end of the year to be our anchor for the relay? I do hope so. For now, rest well and we all hope to see you soon. Take care, bye for now! Your friend, ~

Questions 3S - 37 Read the poem below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made. Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart's core.
