Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions  

         Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.

         At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear”, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.

         There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.

Question 31. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.

B. To state the qualifications of an interpreter.

C. To point out the importance of an interpreter.

D. To explain the scope of interpreting.

Question 32. What is a difference mentioned between a simultaneous interpreter and a consecutive interpreter?

B. Their proficiency in the language.

C. The type of dictionary they use.

D. The money they are paid.

A. changing                       B. concluding

C. understanding                D. reading

Question 34. The author implies that most people have the opinion that the skill of interpreting is …..
