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.
A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida panther, one of
only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to save these remaining panthers from extinction, but
their secretive nature is making it difficult. They are attaching a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow
their movements, range, and habits. The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them have attached tiny
transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big cats. So the Florida scientists are using
their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped
to the panther’s body. Each harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably. Scientists
don’t want the transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits.
The point of tracking them is to find out as much as they can about their natural habits. Once the tracking transmitter is in
place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the
panther, even when it is out of sight of a biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter about

the panther’s exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to Earth so it can be recorded by the
scientists.
Scientists can use the information in many different ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground and observe their
behaviour. Alternatively, they can use the information to determine the panthers’ ranges and to understand their social
patterns. They can also track how environmental changes like weather conditions affect their movements and health. All this
information can be used to provide ideal conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be used to protect the panthers
from danger.
In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is sending signals via
satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers
from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking, these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.

each of the questions.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of
years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women
died even sooner because of childbirth.
There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still
young. The parents lived through their children. Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction,
or deal. Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the
fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made
any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride

on her wedding date.
The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father
choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very
unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen
and became King’s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they
married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here,
social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not
want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.
(Adapted from Longman Essence Reading, Vol. 2)
Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The practice of arranged marriage.

A. People tended to marry outside their social class.
B. Men made almost all decisions inside the family.
C. Marriage used to be a deal between two families.
D. The wedding date was decided by the fathers.

C. childbirth
D. wars

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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of
years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women
died even sooner because of childbirth.
There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still
young. The parents lived through their children. Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction,
or deal. Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the
fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made
any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride
on her wedding date.
The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father
choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very
unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen
and became King’s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they
married.

The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here,
social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not
want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.
(Adapted from Longman Essence Reading, Vol. 2)

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.
A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida panther, one of
only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to save these remaining panthers from extinction, but
their secretive nature is making it difficult. They are attaching a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow
their movements, range, and habits. The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them have attached tiny
transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big cats. So the Florida scientists are using


their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped
to the panther’s body. Each harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably. Scientists
don’t want the transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits.
The point of tracking them is to find out as much as they can about their natural habits. Once the tracking transmitter is in
place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the
panther, even when it is out of sight of a biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter about
the panther’s exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to Earth so it can be recorded by the
scientists.
Scientists can use the information in many different ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground and observe their
behaviour. Alternatively, they can use the information to determine the panthers’ ranges and to understand their social
patterns. They can also track how environmental changes like weather conditions affect their movements and health. All this

information can be used to provide ideal conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be used to protect the panthers
from danger.
In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is sending signals via
satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers
from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking, these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.

their movements, range, and habits. The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them have attached tiny
transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big cats. So the Florida scientists are using
their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped
to the panther’s body. Each harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably. Scientists
don’t want the transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits.
The point of tracking them is to find out as much as they can about their natural habits. Once the tracking transmitter is in
place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the
panther, even when it is out of sight of a biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter about
the panther’s exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to Earth so it can be recorded by the
scientists.

Scientists can use the information in many different ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground and observe their
behaviour. Alternatively, they can use the information to determine the panthers’ ranges and to understand their social
patterns. They can also track how environmental changes like weather conditions affect their movements and health. All this
information can be used to provide ideal conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be used to protect the panthers
from danger.
In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is sending signals via
satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers
from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking, these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.

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.
Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of
years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women
died even sooner because of childbirth.
There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still

young. The parents lived through their children. Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction,
or deal. Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the
fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made
any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride
on her wedding date.
The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father
choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very
unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen
and became King’s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they
married.
The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here,
social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not
want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.

A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida panther, one of

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.
A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida panther, one of
only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to save these remaining panthers from extinction, but
their secretive nature is making it difficult. They are attaching a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow
their movements, range, and habits. The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.
The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them have attached tiny
transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big cats. So the Florida scientists are using
their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the panther. Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped
to the panther’s body. Each harness is custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably. Scientists

don’t want the transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits.
The point of tracking them is to find out as much as they can about their natural habits. Once the tracking transmitter is in
place, the information it records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the
panther, even when it is out of sight of a biologist on the ground. The satellite collects information from the transmitter about
the panther’s exact location. Once the information is received, it is transmitted back to Earth so it can be recorded by the
scientists.
Scientists can use the information in many different ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground and observe their
behaviour. Alternatively, they can use the information to determine the panthers’ ranges and to understand their social
patterns. They can also track how environmental changes like weather conditions affect their movements and health. All this
information can be used to provide ideal conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be used to protect the panthers
from danger.
In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is sending signals via
satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers
from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking, these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.
