Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the questions.
We are descendants of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human

existence for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last
ice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet. During this
interglacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the
development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate
has been extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered exceedingly well under a benign
atmosphere.
Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is even
possible that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out of
the atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust. If too much carbon
dioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough
for glacial ice to spread across the land.
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the
input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man, however, is upsetting the equation
by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide.
This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough,
the polar ice caps eventually melt.
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the ice caps melt,
warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet.
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly
because of the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6
feet by the next century. This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human
population lives. Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the
sea. In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the
higher seas.
The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice
to crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more
than double the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into
space. The cycle would then be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to
initiate another ice age.
Question 35. According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following EXCEPT______.

A. polar ice caps
B. sedimentary rocks
C. rain forests
D. fossil fuel
Question 36. What does the final paragraph of the passage mainly discuss?
A. The relationship between the ocean and the sun

C. A rise in global temperatures

global sea level?
A. The destruction of wetlands
B. The flooding of cities
C. A more diverse marine population
D. Severe storms
Question 38. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s
climate?
A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the
ice melt.
B. The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon
stored in the Earth’s crust.
C. Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer.
Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were
one of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the
most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th
century. The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of
income for artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential
patrons. For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of
the U.S. House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery.
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read
from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits
should convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since
been debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such
portraits were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at
all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high.
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses,
compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even
canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas
size and the materials and labor involved.
In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad
in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure. as painters such as Eakins, Whistler,
Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became
expatriates.

B. there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented.
C. there were not many ways other than painted portraits and engravings if you wanted to record
what somebody looked like.
D. engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike
Question 57. Why does the author mention Davy Crockett in paragraph 1?
A. as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work
B. because Crocket was also a famous artist
C. as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted
D. because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons
Question 58. In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait?
