You may have heard that tomatoes and processed tomato product like tomato sauce and canned tomatoes protect

lycopene. It is a bright red pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and is the cause of their red color. Unlike
other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional content such as vitamin C is diminished upon cooking, processing of
tomatoes increases the concentration of lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times (28)______ in fresh
tomatoes. This is because lycopene is insoluble in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber. Thus, (29)______
tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, so up, sauce, and ketchup contain the highest concentrations of
lycopene. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving in oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti
sauce or pizza (30)______ increase assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Lycopene is a fatsoluble substance, so the oil is said to help absorption to a great extent.

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.
Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze from forest fires in Indonesia, forcing all
schools in a province to close and disrupting fights in a popular tourist area, officially said.
The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached hazardous
levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a record-high reading of
365. A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300 is hazardous.
“This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office. He said the
pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before.
Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province send
students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily. Warnings have been issued to
vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of their homes.
“The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,” Halem
said by telephone.
An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were
delayed Thursday morning because of the haze. A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to
Surat Thani on Wednesday evening. The official declined to be identified because of working rules.
Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in southern
Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia's Sumatra island.
Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two of
the seven provinces suffering from the haze.

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.
There are two main hypothesis when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans. There
are two main hypotheses when it comes to explaining the emergence of modern humans. The ‘Out of
Africa’ theory holds that homo sapiens burst onto the scene as a new species around 150,000 to
200,000 years ago in Africa and subsequently replaced archaic humans such as the Neandertals. The
other model, known as multi-regional evolution or regional continuity, posits far more ancient and
diverse roots for our kind. Proponents of this view believe that homo sapiens arose in Africa some 2
million years ago and evolved as a single species spread across the Old World, with populations in
different regions linked through genetic and cultural exchange.
Of these two models, Out of Africa, which was originally developed based on fossil evidence, and
supported by much genetic research, has been favored by the majority of evolution scholars. The vast
majority of these genetic studies have focused on DNA from living populations, and although some
small progress has been made in recovering DNA from Neandertal that appears to support multiregionalism, the chance of recovering nuclear DNA from early human fossils is quite slim at present.
Fossils thus remain very much a part of the human origins debate.
Another means of gathering theoretical evidence is through bones. Examinations of early modern
human skulls from Central Europe and Australia dated to between 20,000 and 30,000 years old have
suggested that both groups apparently exhibit traits seen in their Middle Eastern and African
predecessors. But the early modern specimens from Central Europe also display Neandertal traits, and
the early modern Australians showed affinities to archaic Homofrom Indonesia. Meanwhile, the debate
among paleoanthropologists continues , as supporters of the two hypotheses challenge the evidence
and conclusions of each other.

B: Two hypotheses and some evidence on the human origins debate
C: The difficulties in obtaining agreement among theorists on the human origins debate

Question 39: The word "emergence" in the passage is closest in meaning to ______
A: complexity
B: development
C: appearance
D: decline
