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 questions.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first air

pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to
compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances
known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals
has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthenend. In the future, even water vapor might be
considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen
oxides are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered
by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as
an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On
a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such region,
human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of
the cycles. The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at
which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would
have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance
to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase
this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur
dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its
natural level. Carbon monoxide, however has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a
pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

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 questions.
A major American bank is being sued by the US authorities for allegedly discriminating
against its female employees. It has been alleged that women in the firm do not have as good
promotion prospects as the men and that their salaries are not on a par with those of their male
counterparts.

Sexism in the workplace is against the law in America and in many other countries. However,
there are still obstacles in many firms which prevent women from achieving the promotion that
their talents and qualifications deserve. Many women are promoted quite rapidly through the junior
jobs in a firm, but face the glass ceiling, when they apply for any of the most senior posts. So it is
that, although there are many women in middle management positions in many firms, there are very
few in top management posts.
Many women blame this situation on the old – boy network. Others see it as evidence that
many men are resistant to change and are still chauvinist at heart, while some may feel that failure
to promote women to top jobs is a result of feelings of insecurity in the men who are making the
appointments. Perhaps they are afraid of letting women become too powerful.
Not many years ago the power which women have today would have seemed an impossible
dream to many women. Before the rise of the women’s movement there were no such things as
equal rights or equal opportunities for women. For the most part, women were expected to get
married and then be responsible for childcare and for carrying out all the household tasks. If they
worked, it was probably in a part-time, often rather menial job.
Feminists saw this as sexism and a waste of women’s talents, and set out to change things.
Although some people, women as well as men, now do not have a high regard for feminism, women
owe to feminists many of the improvements in their work situation. Without them, there would be
no positive discrimination, no job-sharing and no parity with men in the workplace.
Question 38. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Gender discrimination B. Men and Women C. Jobs for Women D. Sex Equality
Question 39. The phrase “on a par with” as used in the first paragraph can be best replaced by .
A. equal to
B. compared with
C. better than
D. so low as
Question 40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for sexism at the

A. The old – boy network.
B. Male chauvinism.

C. Women’s weakness.
D. Men’s feeling of insecurity.


Question 41. The word “this” in the last paragraph refers to the fact that women
A. were expected to get married and give birth to children.
B. fought for equal rights and equal opportunities.
C. wasted their talents and time doing unimportant jobs.
D. could not do full – time job, just household chores.
Question 42. It can be inferred from the paragraph that
.
A. women’s current tasks include taking care of children and doing housework.
B. having power is still an impossible dream for many women nowadays.
C. since the women’s liberation movement, women have had equal opportunities.
D. women in the past could not do any jobs whether they were part – time or menial.

the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China. By 2050,
