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 following questions from 36 to 42.
Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used
successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other
fields. The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things on Earth.
Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14 remaining in an
object can be used to date that object.
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the
carbon-14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14. It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that indicates the

age of the substance. If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is roughly equivalent to
the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has decayed into nitrogen-14, and
the sample is approximately 5,570 years old.
Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years. When
objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule amount
that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age. In the case of older objects, other age-dating
methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has.
Question 36: This passage is mainly about
.
A. the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14
B. one method of dating old objects
C. archeology and the study of ancient artifacts
D. various uses for carbon
Question 37: The word “it” refers to
.
A. carbon dating
B. the age
C. any organic natural material
D. archeology
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14?
A. It is radioactive.
B. Its half-life is more than 5,000 years.
C. It can decay into nitrogen-14.
D. It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance.
Question 39: The word “underlying” could best be replaced by
.
A. below
B. requiring
C. being studied through
D. serving as a basis for

Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that if an item contains more carbon-14 than nitrogen-14,

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 following questions from 43 to 50.
Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. She studied biology in college and zoology at
Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.
Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales

were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea around Us, which provided a
fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology.
Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had
voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the
limitations of her nontechnical readers.
In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much
harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply
of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry
mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed.
However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.
