1119/1 Firasat SPM 2023: Bahasa Inggeris (CEFR) KM1–6 SULIT SULIT 1119/1 Part 3 Questions 19 to 26 are based on the following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer A, B, C or D. Tony Fernandes is synonymous with AirAsia. At the age of 36, he quit as vice-president of Warner Music Group in South East Asia and purchased, with three partners, ailing Malaysian airline, AirAsia. As the CEO, he has used a combination of low costs, low fares and an open and informal management style to turn it into Asia’s biggest low-cost carrier. Tony is candid, friendly and outspoken. When he came up with the idea of purchasing the airline, he told his wife, “I really believe in this.” He felt there was a huge untapped market in Asia—millions of people wanted to fly but could not afford it. Here is Tony’s account of his recipe for success. “Many friends cautioned me! They told me I would fail. I simply told them this—if I fail, I fail. At least, when I am 60 years old, I won’t be sitting and saying — I should have tried.” Tony spends a lot of time speaking at schools, encouraging kids to pursue their own dreams. “I tell them it can be done. Look at me, there’s nothing special about me. You’ve just got to believe in yourself. You don’t have to be connected to a politician. You don’t have to have money. You just need to believe that you can go out there and do it.” “Don’t be afraid of failing because then you’ll never start and if you fail, try again,” he advises. At Warner, Tony had spent a fortune on Malaysian singer Zainal Abidin’s second album which flopped. “That didn’t stop me from pushing on with my work, my dreams.” He is always delighted when he receives a lot of letters from people saying that he has inspired them, that they are going to try something different. “That really spurs me on.” “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. If you don’t make mistakes, you’ll never learn. But when you do mess up, be the first to admit it. Don’t try to cover yourself. Once in a while, I do this too. For example, when I insisted AirAsia fly from Kuala Lumpur to Penang four times a day, even though Malaysian Airlines flew the same route 12 times a day.” He realised he couldn’t compete against the buses. “The buses pick you up and drop you off right in the middle of each city. They get people to Penang faster. With airlines, one has to go to the airport and then back from the airport to the city. I just said, ‘Sorry guys. I messed up. It’s my fault, I was wrong.’ I even said sorry to my pilots when a merit system for awarding bonuses to pilots backfired. The pilots were unhappy and made no secret of it. They really appreciated my apologies.” “As a manager, you have to be accessible. I talk to everyone: my staff, our passengers, and the media. If you just sit in your office, you don’t know what is going on. Every day in the office, I set aside two hours to spend with the staff. I walk around, go to the baggage handling area, see what’s going on, joke around. Accessibility helps you earn the confidence of people around you. It makes them feel they can talk openly and without fear. They should have the freedom to say, ‘This is wrong.’ Being accessible means being open. At the end of the day, human relationships are about openness, trust and transparency.” “Also look beyond the money when you pursue something. It’s nice to have money. I like the fine things money can buy. But I am not doing this for money. I was paid a fortune at Warner but I left. The big kick for me is using money to help others. There are a lot of smart people who never got the chance to go to school, so I sponsor cadet pilots. No one has ever become poor from giving.” (Adapted from Reader’s Digest) Firasat KM SPM Eng KM1 4th.indd 6 15/6/2023 9:06:12 AM PENERBIT ILMU BAKTI SDN. BHD.

1119/1 Firasat SPM 2023: Bahasa Inggeris (CEFR) KM1–8 SULIT SULIT 1119/1 Part 4 Questions 27 to 32 are based on an article about an athlete who made a comeback after being paralysed. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32). There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. Write your answers in the box provided. A COMEBACK It would almost be incorrect to say that Darryl Tait has made a comeback in the four and a half years since his accident. A comeback implies that he disappeared for a while, but for Tait, there was never any question of leaving extreme sports behind. He started pushing his limits again while he was still in a rehab centre in the weeks and months after the crash. 27 After his surgery in Boston, Tait, a Canadian from the Yukon Territory, was flown to a second hospital in Vancouver, and from there, he moved to a rehabilitation facility where he spent six months building up his strength and relearning how to live in his body, how to take care of himself, and how to manage the most basic daily tasks. 28 He had physical therapy sessions, occupational therapy, and recreational therapy. He learned wheelchair skills and played wheelchair sports. 29 It was like going to school, he says, only every day of the classes was focused on some aspect of living with paralysis. He was so focused on his recovery, he recalls, that he didn’t stop to think too hard about his diagnosis. “None of the emotions really kicked in until I got home.” That changed when he came back to Whitehorse. He did his best to stay positive around friends and family, but it was at night, when he was alone in bed, his lower half inert, that the ‘dark times’ kicked in. He’d be lying in bed, just mad and frustrated thinking, “Oh man, why did I pull that day? I shouldn’t have pulled it!” 30 31 In early 2010, while he was still in rehab, the X Games introduced Adaptive Snocross for the first time, a racing event for disabled snowmobilers. Tait skipped out of the facility to fly to Aspen and meet its first competitors, his new role models. He immediately embraced the nascent sport of WCMX like a combination of skateboarding and BMX, but in a wheelchair. When he eventually got home to Whitehorse, he started working on the modifications that would be needed to let him ride his snowmobile again. 32 A However, two new sports soon occupied his time. B By 2013, he was back at the X Games, this time as a competitor. C He met with dieticians, and a psychiatrist. D He was still learning to live with his chair and to manage his newly paralysed body. E He learned how to dress himself. F His parents had always supported his involvement in extreme sports. G He remembers nights spent slamming his head into his pillow over and over again, haunted by whys and what-ifs. H Somewhere along the way, he had become liberated from all the painful thoughts.

The settlers were dumbfounded when they discovered that the culprit was a pack of dogs. The dogs have been attacking cattle, especially calves. So far, some 80 cattle have died, causing losses of up to RM50,000. The settlers are also worried about their own safety. Some 30 of them are staying home for fear of being attacked by the dogs. 3 We can conclude that A the settlers were troubled about their own safety as well.

B the firemen succeeded in rescuing the trapped boy. C the boy was happily playing with his teenage sister. 5 Which of these statements is true about opera? A Drama in opera is more important than the orchestra itself. B The emotional content is conveyed through serious acting. C It is a drama related through songs with an orchestra. Simpang Pulai: Yesterday, firemen had to squeeze themselves into a narrow and deep drain hole to rescue a trapped little boy. The boy, who is five years old, fell into the hole which is about 0.4 metres deep at about 6 p.m. The boy was playing with his eight-year-old sister when he tripped and fell into the drain hole. He was taken to Ipoh General Hospital by ambulance. Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theatre, an actor’s dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theatre such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. Enchanting Thailand Whether you are travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you are likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it is also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. The Khao San Road is a famous traveller spot but it is noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Khanong offers an alternative traditional place to stay, with its fantastic street markets and massages.

1119/1 Firasat SPM 2023: Bahasa Inggeris (CEFR) KM2–6 SULIT SULIT 1119/1 Part 3 Questions 19 to 26 are based on the following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer A, B, C or D. In 1902, a volcano in the Caribbean Island of Martinique blew up. A French naval officer on the scene, Lt George Hébert managed to coordinate the rescue of over 700 people, both indigenous and European. He noticed, as he did so, how people moved, some well, some badly, around the obstacles in their path, and how this affected their chances of survival. Hébert had travelled widely and was well aware of skills many indigenous people exhibited in being able to traverse the natural environment. From these experiences, Hébert developed a training discipline which he called ‘the natural method’ in which climbing, jumping and running techniques were used to negotiate obstacles. His method was adopted by the French military and became the basis for all their training. In time, it became known as parcours du combattant – the path of the warrior. Raymond Belle was a practitioner of parcour in Vietnam in the 1950s. He had a great athletic ability, and the skills and agility he had learnt through parcour earned him a reputation as an agile and elite soldier. In later life, he returned to France and passed on his skills to his son, David, who combined what he had learnt from his father with his own knowledge of martial arts and gymnastics, and in time, the sport of parkour was born. Parkour involves a range of ‘moves’, although none are official. They involve vaulting, jumping and landing accurately on small and narrow features, catching ledges, traversing high walls and landing with a rolling impact to absorb impacts. Belle formed a group of traceurs called the Yamikasi, meaning ‘strong man, strong spirit’, that included his friend, Sebastian Foucan. In time, the two of them started to follow different paths. Belle concentrated on the art of getting from place to place in the most efficient way possible, while Foucan developed his own style which involved more selfexpression. This he termed free running. From the late 1990s, the art and sport of parkour spread worldwide. Both Belle and Foucan gave interviews and appeared on television. In 2003, filmmaker Mike Christie made the film Jump London, and urban free running, or free flow, began to dominate the London scene. But it was the arrival of YouTube in 2005 that really brought free running to a global audience. People around the world began to post their videos online, making free running a mainstream sport, and in 2007, the first major free running and parkour competition was held in Vienna. Since parkour values freedom, there are few facilities dedicated to the practice. Traceurs use both rural and urban areas, typically parks, offices and abandoned buildings. Traceurs generally respect the environment they practise in, and since part of their philosophy is ‘leave no trace’, there have been few concerns over damage to property. However, law enforcement and fire and rescue teams argue that free runners are risking their lives needlessly, especially when they practise at height. However, practitioners argue that injuries are rare, because they rely on their own hands and feet rather than things out of their immediate control, such as ice and wheels, as is the case with skiing and race-driving.

A Parcours du combattant was developed by the French military. B The French military adopted it from the indigenous and renamed it. C Hébert developed the training method and was renamed as parcours du combattant. D Parcours du combattant was developed to help countries that were affected by volcano. 20 From paragraph 1, indigenous can best be replaced with A citizens B residents C occupants D aborigines 21 How did Belle earn his reputation as an agile and elite soldier? A He had a great athletic ability. B He was well built and masculine. C He fought the war in Vietnam bravely. D He learnt the skills and agility through parcour. 22 Parkour involves a range of moves below except A catching ledges. B vaulting and spinning. C jumping and landing precisely. D traversing high walls and landing with a rolling impact. 23 Which of these is an untrue statement regarding the article? A Parkour involves a limited range of moves and none are official. B The art and sport of parkour has spread worldwide. C Free running involves self-expression. D Parkour values freedom. 24 From paragraph 6, why has there been few concerns over damage to property? A Traceurs remove all the trails left behind after each activity. B Traceurs have high respect for the environment and their philosophy. C Traceurs use all the urban abandoned buildings and parks to practise their skills. D Traceurs have a venue to carry out their daily activities without any disturbance. 25 How does free running differ from parkour? A Free running is more creative. B Free running uses more equipment. C Free running is more dangerous than parkour. D Free running needs a larger space to practise. 26 From this article, we can conclude that A Yamikasi are retired Japanese soldiers. B Jump London took free running to a global audience. C David, Belle and Foucan jointly formed a group of traceurs. D the risk of doing parkour is less than that of skiing and race-driving.

1119/1 Firasat SPM 2023: Bahasa Inggeris (CEFR) KM2–8 SULIT SULIT 1119/1 Part 4 Questions 27 to 32 are based on an article about spiders. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32). There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. Write your answers in the box provided. SPIDERS Spiders can be found on every continent of the planet except Antarctica. They are both hunters and hunted. 27 It is either by spinning a web and waiting for their unsuspecting prey to fall into the trap, or jumping out of a hiding place onto a passing meal. Except for the plant-eating Bagheera kiplingi, these eightlegged invertebrates are serial carnivores: most love to snack on insects while others are tempted by lizards, birds, frogs, fish and the occasional snake. 28 In fact, some female widow spiders eat their mates. In turn, spiders are preyed on by lizards, birds, snakes and scorpions as well as some insects such as the mantis and a type of wasp that buries the arachnid alive! 29 They are a delicacy in some cultures of the South Pacific and a popular street food in South East Asia. Spider venom is present in most species and serves the purpose of stunning or killing their prey rather than attacking humans. In fact, only 25 of the known spider species produce venom which can actually harm humans. 30 Australia’s notorious Sydney funnel-web spider has not produced any fatalities since anti-venom was developed in 1981. 31 When they feel in danger, they defend themselves by ejecting a cloud of irritating hairs. These irritating hairs then embed themselves in the skin or eyes of the attacker. Despite having adapted to a range of habitats and temperatures, spiders rarely stray far from their home environment. 32 Spiders tend not to favour significant changes in temperature, and tropical spiders such as tarantulas prefer warm surroundings and find many European climates a little nippy. Even the ones who hitch a ride to Britain by boat or plane from the tropics do not survive long. A There are spiders that eat other spiders. B Spiders can produce several different types of silk from their silk glands and nozzles. C Spiders are also eaten by humans. D However, take care not to rub hairy spiders like tarantulas up the wrong way. E They capture their prey in a variety of ways. F Arachnophobia is among the most common phobias in the Western world. G Although spider bites can be painful, they are rarely deadly. H Ballooning spiders is an exception as they can migrate fairly long distances by drifting through the air with air-filled balls of silk.
