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 .
All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some twenty
months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food. The behavior of
feeding of the young is built into the reproductive system. It is a nonelective part of parental care and the
defining feature of a mammal, the most important thing that mammals-- whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny
anteaters, or placental mammals -- have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, feed their young.
Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and
eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her

young after they have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not
actually feed them. Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement,
provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and
stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it to their
reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most vulnerable
moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for
itself. Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to
cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much greater fraction of their
full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-tofind supplies. Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the
extra effort. If both parents are removed, the young generally do not survive.
Question 20. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. It is unknown among fish.

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
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater
priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available,

renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are solar power and
geothermal power.
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide
energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells
that convert sunlight to electricity. In theUSalone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric
systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many
developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.


Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power,
which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped
in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity.
Geothermal energy is 50, 000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as
with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of
effective geothermal use inIceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes
are heated by geothermal power.
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources.
The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.
Question 55. What is the main topic of this passage ?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Question 55. According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ?
A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available worldwide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage.
Question 57. Which of the following words could best replace the word “ harnessing”
A. Capturing

B. Harassing
C. Depleting
D. Exporting
Question 58. According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?
A. They are being used in many undeveloped countries.
B. They can convert geothermal energy to electricity.
C. They are more expensive than solar panels.
D. They contain photovoltaic cells.
Question 59. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy
production ?
A. They both require the use of a generator.
B. They both use heat from the earth’s surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology.
D. They are both conventional and costly.
Question 60. Where is the best place in the passage to insert the following sentence:
“ Although theUSis not utilizing geothermal resources to this extent, theWestern UShas a similar capacity to
generate geothermal power”
A. after the phrase ” earth-friendly”
B. after the phrase “ growing steadily”
C. after the phrase “ by geothermal power”
D. after the phrase “ global scale”
Question 61. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about solar power ?
A. There is very little of it available in Iceland.
B. It is being used in 100, 000 private homes worldwide.
C. It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels.
D. There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world.
Question 62. What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland?
A. It is widely used form of energy for heating homes.

B. Twenty percent of the geothermal energy created is used to heat businesses.
C. It is not effective for use in private homes.
D. It is 80 times more effective than traditional forms of energy.
Question 63. What does the author imply about alternative energy sources ?
A. Many different types of alternative energy sources exist.
B. Most alternative energy sources are too impractical for private use.
C. Alternative energy is too expensive for developing countries to produce.
D. Solar and geothermal energy are the effective forms of alternative power
Question 64. What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage ?
A. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
B. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.
C. To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources.
D. To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming.
