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 from 36 to 45.
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming.
Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animats, such as flowers
blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live
or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountainsides towards higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grew too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland
blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling
sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further

wanning. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some
species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough
and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reek, will also be affected by global warming, warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to "bleach", a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scienists estimate that even I Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespead bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean
and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
From “Global Warming” by Michael Mastrandrea and Stephen H.
Schneider
Question 36: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to_____
A. bloom earlier
B. lose color
C. die instantly
D. become lighter

A. south-eastwards and down mountainsides toward tower elevations
B. north-westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations
C. towards the North Pole and down mountainsides toward tower etevattorts
D. towards the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations

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 from 36 to 45.
Since the world has become industrialized, there has been an increase in the number of animal
species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once
roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300, and by 5 the year 2025 their population
is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction
will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not interested in
material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part 10 of what is
causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are a
valuable part of the world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure
their survival, and the survival of our planet.
15 Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in
order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then charge
admission to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, 20 and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. With the money they get, they can invest in equipment and patrols to protect the
animals. Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott
of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but it 25 will not, by itself, prevent
animals from being hunted and killed.
Question 36: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The Bengal tiger

B. International boycotts

C. Endangered species

D. Problems with industrialization

Question 37: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "alarming" in line 4?
A. Dangerous

B. Serious

C. Distressing

D. Gripping

Question 38: The word "poachers" as used in line 5 could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. Illegal hunters

B. Enterprising researchers

C. Concerned scientists

D. Trained hunters

Question 39: The word "callousness" in line 7 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Indirectness

B. Independence

C. Incompetence

D. Insensitivity

Throughout the United States, the number of places where people are allowed to smoke has gradually
become smaller and smaller. First, it was banned on trains, buses and planes, then in public places such as
theatres and airports. Now you can’t smoke in any workplace. Nonsmokers are definitely winning the battle.
“Why should we breathe their smoke ?”, they say.
If they are lucky, smokers can still find some bars and restaurants where they can light up a cigarette,
but it may soon be banned there , too. Anti-smoking groups even think that smoking ought to be banned in
people’s homes.
Under new plans you won’t be able to smoke where there are more than ten visitors in a week, or where
there are children. In 1996, nicotine was classed as drug, like cocaine or heroin. In the country that gave
tobacco to the world, smoking might one day be illegal.
Question 46: Now you can smoke ___________ but in the future you can’t.

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 from 36 to 42.
Water scarcity is fast becoming one of the major limiting factors in world crop production. In many areas, poor
agricultural practices have led to increasing desertification and the loss of formerly arable lands. Consequently, those
plant species that are well adapted to survival in dry climates are being looked at for an answer in developing more
efficient crops to grow on marginally arable lands.

Plants use several mechanisms to ensure their survival in desert environments. Some involve purely mechanical
and physical adaptations, such as the shape of the plant's surface, smaller leaf size, and extensive root systems. Some of
the adaptations are related to chemical mechanisms. Many plants, such as cacti, have internal gums and mucilage which
give them water-retaining properties. Another chemical mechanism is that of the epicuticular wax layer. This wax layer
acts as an impervious cover to protect the plant. It prevents excessive loss of internal moisture. It also protects the plant
from external aggression, which can come from inorganic agents such as gases, or organic agents which include
bacteria and plant pests.
Researchers have proposed that synthetic waxes with similar protective abilities could be prepared based on
knowledge of desert plants. If successfully developed, such a compound could be used to greatly increase a plant's
ability to maintain health in such adverse situations as inadequate water supply, limited fertilizer availability, attack by
pests, and poor storage after harvesting.
Question 36: This passage deals mainly with ________
A. desertification
B. decreasing water supply C. factors limiting crop production D. developing efficient
plants
Question 37: The word “arable” in the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to ________
A. fertile
B. parched
C. barren
D. marsh
Question 38: Which of the following is a mechanical or physical mechanism that desert plants use?
A. The plant’s shape B. The small root system
C. The vast leaf size
D. The high water system
nd
Question 39: The word “extensive” in the 2 paragraph is closest in meaning to _________
A. spongy
B. shallow
C. widespread
D. comprehensive

Question 40: Which is one of the ways in which the epicuticular wax protects the plant?

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 from 43 to 50.
"The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and development
of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of the seventeenth
century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our growth.
Capital includes the tools - such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings - that makes the outputs of labor and resources
more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a society had to consume everything it
produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions. But if a farmer can grow more
corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the next crop, or to feed workers who build

tractors. This process of capital accumulation was aided in the American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving
played an important role in the European tradition. It contributed to American’s motivation to put something aside
today for the tools to buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as distinguished from what was consumed, was derived either
directly or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the accumulation of capital was
negligible. A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the seaboard cities, its wealth as the obvious
consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying trade. Even the rich planters of tidewater Virginia
and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for their genteel way of life upon the ships and merchants who
sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of Europe. As colonial production rose and trade expanded, a business
community emerged in the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade and identity of interest.
Question 43: The word ‘it’ in the third sentence of paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. resource
B. capital
C. labour
D. growth
Question 44: According to the passage, capital includes all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A. factories
B. tractors
C. money
D. workers
Question 45: According to the passage, the emergence of a business community in the colonies was a result of ______.
A. efficient saving
B. the immigration
C. the existence of manufacturing
D. the success of production and trade
Question 46: The word ‘negligible’ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. able to be neglected
B. very important
C. not very important
D. necessary to be neglecte

Question 47: The phrase ‘put aside’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. hidden
B. reviewed
C. saved
D. consumed
Question 48: With what subject is this passage mainly concerned?
A. Geography
B. Economics
C.
Finance
D. Culture
Question 49: The phrase ‘paved the way’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. supported
B. accumulated
C. resembled
D. paid for
Question 50: The word ‘funds’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. capital
B. money
C. resource
D. labour

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 from 36 to 42.
Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his own use. This
not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to
forget that all of our present­day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the
forms we know today.
As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise their
knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the
use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists sometimes overworked their imaginations in this
respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ
would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart­shaped leaf might be prescribed for a
person suffering from heart problems.
Nevertheless, the overall contributions of these early observers provided the rudiments of our present
knowledge of drugs and their uses.
Question 36: What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Cures from plants.
B. The beginning of natural history.

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 from 43 to 50.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big
news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment.
Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and
expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a
box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and
to reuse cups and utensils Ę dဘng, dဘng cဘ. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When
low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones ­ a loss of more resources and
more energy. For example. if a customer buys a high­quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer
receives an important message. In the same way. if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer
sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers.
empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and
then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world,
returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass
and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it
does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help
save one of the world's precious resources.
