Questions 31- 35: Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to the
questions by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. Mark your answer on the answer sheet.
The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length
of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more
understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age. Nothing is known
about the first seven years of this person’s life. Very little information exists about the middle period either.
It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower.
Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago, when the planet was forty five. Mammals
only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and began to
communicate with each other. Last week, the Ice Age covered the Earth.
Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man discovered agriculture. The
Industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased
his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has
robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoiled child, delighted
at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the life which
exists in the solar system.
