Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 36 -42.
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What
causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The
exact causes of a species’death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an
environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able
to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for
a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment,
resulting in competition and utimately, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent
analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a
mass extinction. One of the best- known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago
with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the
one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass
extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the
close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of
the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affecting even organisms not
living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.
One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have
tended to be more intense every 26 million years. This periodic extinction might be due to intersection
of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative.Some researchers have
also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and
others may survive for no particular reason. A species’survival may have nothing to do with its ability
or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random
events.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 43 – 50.
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionaire, that provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best known surveys are the
Gallup polland the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows,
these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many “ person on the street” interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain
location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle – class shoppers, or factory
workers, depending on which areas the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to attract
outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel
intimidated by a camera. A survey must based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely
reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercice great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It
must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions
that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired.
Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the
questions are worded accutately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionaire. Each of these forms of
survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it
more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written
qustionaire.In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s
underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more
consistent.
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discussed?
A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The principles of conducting surveys
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys
D. The importance of polls in American political life
Question 44: The word “ They” in line 7 refers to _____________

that they ___________
A. are not based on a representative
B. are used only on television
C. are not carefully worded
D. reflect politicalopinions
Question 46: The word “ precise” is closest in meaning to ________
A. planned
B. rational
C. required
D. accurate
Question 47: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective
survey?
A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer’s ability to measure respondents’ feeling
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results.
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become
frustrated with questionaires is that ________________
A. respondents often do not complete and return questionaires
B. questionaires are often difficult to read
C. questionaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
Question 49: According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over qustionaires is that live
interviews __________________
A. cost less
B. can produce more information
C. are easier to interpret
D. minimize the influence of the researcher
Question 50: The word “ probe” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________
A. explore
B. influence
C. analyze
D. apply
