Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320 feet above sea level. It is the highest

peak in North America and the center of Denali National Park. One of America’s greatest wilderness areas, the park
had limited access to visitors, but in spite of this tourism rose from under 6,000 visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors
in 1990. The increasing popularity of this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well
as how to preserve wilderness areas in general.
One important issue of land use arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals. In Denali, though most
of the land in this vast track of more than a million acres is owned by the National park Service, several thousand acres
are still privately owned as mining tracts. These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but they
were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that polluted rivers and streams.
Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to require mining companies to submit statements
showing the potential impact of a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining. Because of this
requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the National Park Service. Some land
owners, however, are wondering if it is better to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use.
Tourism in this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide easier access to the park. This
increase in the number of visitors creates a demand for hotels and real estate development. The economic implications
of this are of interests to the land owner, but are dismaying to those interested in preserving the wilderness.

A. controversies over land use in Denali. B. miners selling their property in Denali.

52. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the phrase potential impact in the third paragraph?

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While
many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is
controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into
how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in
times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans
and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing.
A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave more
flavorful food than nonobese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied
and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food
revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did
not happen to average-weight people.
In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for
carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin

produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsidies.
Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been found that mild
exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator, it better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program,
such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase
appetite.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:

Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force
is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money mean competition and competition is stressful; it is often
most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitable
involves more conflicts, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals
who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of urban life,
but today’s ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a
direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime
around them.
As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures
upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone
numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than as source of pleasure. There
are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for examples, reducing awareness through
drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause
widespread loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and
indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are among the major causes of
urban crime.
Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the
competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much
economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.
Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old established
neighborhoods have been ruthlessly swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by
huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in
tower blocks which are drab, inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. This
destruction of established social structures is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city.
Instead, every effort should be made to conserve the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Dinosaurs lived in New Mexico for about 154 million years, between 220 and 66 million years ago. In geologists’
terms, this time span covers the Late Triassic Period and the entire Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Dinosaur fossil and
other remains have been found throughout New Mexico. One of the most important remains in New Mexico are the
footprints found at Clayton Lake, in the northeastern corner of the state. After studying the hundreds of footprints at
Clayton Lake, scientists identified a period in dinosaur evolution known as the Sauropod hiatus.
Sauropod are classified as “lizard-hipped” dinosaurs, and are distinguished from the “bird-hipped” Orthiniscan
dinosaurs. They are quadrupedal, herbivorous animals with a relatively simple body – a long neck and tail, a fairly
small skull and brain, and erect limbs similar to those of elephants. Numerous Sauropod footprint from the Early
Cretaceous period – 100 million years ago and earlier – exist in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. But, at Clayton Lake,

northestern New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Colorado, footprints from the same time period clearly show that no
Sauropods were present, and that Orthiniscans predominated.
From the fossil record, it seems that the Sauropods disapperared in many parts of North America between 70 million
and 100 million years ago. Scientists think the last North American Sauropod was a creature discovered in the San Juan
Basin of north-western New Mexico and named Alamosaurus. Alamosaurus closely resembles Sauropods from South
America, which were quite numerous even as their North American cousins died out. Alamosaurus must have come to
New Mexico from South America near the end of the Cretaceous.

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force
is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money mean competition and competition is stressful; it is often
most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitable
involves more conflicts, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals
who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of urban life,
but today’s ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a
direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime
around them.
As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures
upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone
numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than as source of pleasure. There
are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for examples, reducing awareness through
drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause
widespread loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and
indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are among the major causes of
urban crime.
Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the
competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much
economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.
Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old established

There are many issues over computers and the education of today’s children. One concern that parents face now is
when to start educating a child about computers. Parents and teachers alike have mixed opinions as to when it is
appropriate and most beneficial to the child. Many preschool children learn to work with a mouse and play interactive
games before they learn to write or learn their ABC. It is true that computers can be used as very effective tools for

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many
countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication – having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are
concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there
has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such
ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs
of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling
salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He
would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every
day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s
doctor didn’t agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very
small amount of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say
the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular
phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be
very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says
they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
