Section B Passage One Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. An unusual form of legal system prevailed in Eskimo societies in the harsh Arctic regions. Eskimo societies were organized into local groups that lacked any real form of government, although they had a headman who led the group. The headman had no legal or judicial authority, and there were very few laws in these cultures. The Eskimos also recognized few crimes against property because people did not own land. The custom of freely borrowing goods from each other also discouraged stealing. In the past, certain Eskimo cultures permitted some forms of homicide, including the killing of sickly infants, senile or sickly elderly persons, and invalids. These actions were approved so that the society's resources could be used to support the healthy. Access to modern transportation and medicine has greatly changed this situation. In the Eskimos' cultures, wife stealing was not a crime , and it was usually committed by a man who sought to outrank socially the man whose wife was stolen. Legal disputes, such as wifestealing, were settled by the murder of the offender (and the risk of a possible feud with the offender's relatives) or by a song contest during which each party insulted the other. The winner is determined by whoever received the most applause. 11. Why was the killing of the sick not considered criminal in Eskimo societies? 12. What kind of man usually committed wifestealing? 13. What does the unusual way that legal disputes were settled reflect? Passage Two Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. During World War II, Great Britain and the United States tried to deal with the problem of an international agreement on money. The two countries tried to set up a formal system. That everyone would use to exchange money between countries. The system they set up is usually called the Bretton Woods System. The system got this name from the town in New Hampshire in the United States where the international agreement was signed. The Bretton Woods Agreement was signed in 1944. When it was signed, it seemed to be a good system. The Bretton Woods Agreement had two main parts. The first part concerned exchange rates. All of the countries that signed the agreement promised to regulate their exchange rates. The countries promised not to change their exchange rates too often. This was a very important part of the agreement. It helped to stabilize the international finance system. The second part of the Bretton Woods Agreement concerned a currency fund. The fund was supposed to help countries that needed currency. All the countries contributed some of their currency to the fund. They could borrow the necessary currency from the fund. This helped all of the member countries to do business with each other. This second part of the agreement was called the International Monetary Fund (IMF). 14. How did the Bretton Woods System get its name? 15. What did countries that signed the agreement promise to do ? 16. Who contributed money to the International Monetary Fund? Passage Three Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. Captain Joseph Mackey's airplane was flying over the ocean on its way to Great Britain when engine trouble started. He turned back and made a crash-landing at night in the deep snow of Newfoundland. All the men in the plane were killed except Captain Mackey, who was badly hurt. Captain Mackey waited all the next morning for an airplane to come in search of him. In the afternoon he set out to find help. He went about a mile but found that he was too weak to go on through the snow. Half walking and half crawling, he made his way back to the plane. The second day many planes passed above him, but none of the pilots saw him. The third day Captain Mackey heard a plane coming nearer and nearer, flying very slowly. It flew right over him and passed on. Then he gave up hope of being found. In a few minutes the plane returned, and pilot dipped one wing to get a clearer view. The pilot came down closer for a better look, and then he saw Captain Mackey waving his arms. The pilot quickly climbed higher and sent a radio message. In a short time a plane came and dropped a sleeping bag, food, medicine, and tools for Captain Mackey. 17. What made Captain Mackey turn back? 18. In what place did the plane crash? 19. How many men were either hurt or killed? 20. How long did Captain Mackey wait before an airplane found him?
