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.
