Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions
The biological community changes again as one moves from the city to the suburbs. Around all cities
is a biome called the "suburban forest". The trees of this forest are species that are favored by man, and most
of them have been deliberately planted. Mammals such as rabbits, skunks, and opossums have moved in
from the surrounding countryside. Raccoons have become experts at opening garbage cans, and in some
places even deer wander suburban thoroughfares. Several species of squirrel get along nicely in suburbia,
but usually only one species is predominant in any given suburb -fox squirrels in one place, red squirrels in
another, gray squirrels in a third – for reasons that are little understood. The diversity of birds in the suburbs
is great, and in the South, lizards thrive in gardens and even houses. Of course, insects are always present.
There is an odd biological sameness in these suburban communities. True, the palms of Los Angeles are
missing from the suburbs of Boston, and there are species of insects in Miami not found in Seattle. But over
wide stretches of the United States, ecological conditions in suburban biomes vary much less than do those
of natural biome. And unlike the natural biomes, the urban and suburban communities exist in spite of, not
because of, the climate
Question 17. If there was a preceding paragraph to this passage it would most likely be concerned with
which of the following topics?
A. The migration from cities to suburbs.
B. The biological community in urban areas.

Four West Indian geckos, with human assistance, have recently entered the United States. The yellowheaded gecko, the ashy gecko, the reef gecko, and the ocellated gecko are presently inhabiting the tropical
areas of the Keys and the tip of southern Florida. The Mediterranean gecko also arrived along the Gulf coast
some time ago, via the West Indies. The only other geckos in the United States live in the Southwest. In
extreme southern California, the leaf-gingered gecko lives in dry, rocky country and scampers over boulders
at night, hiding by day in crevices. It has a slender, tapered tail and stalks insects by raising itself high on its
legs, cocking its head, and twitching its tail nervously before leaping on its prey. In courtship, the tail is also
waved by the male as he approaches the female.
Although most lizards are excellent climbers, the geckos are able to walk on smooth surfaces with the help
of unique clinging devices under the toes. Also, the undersides of most geckos have pads of large scales,
each of which bear microscopic hairs with hundreds of branches having minute, blunt ends that press
against the surface that the gecko is on, enabling the gecko to cling to almost any surface. Like other lizards,
geckos have the ability to shed their tails if attacked by an enemy. They stump heels and a new tail is grown
in approximately the same shape as the original. Unlike most lizards, most geckos have no moveable eyelids.
The nocturnal geckos have vertical pupils, which contract in bright light. All geckos, except several New
Zealand species, lay eggs. The eggs have a tough, white shell and are laid under stones, behind window

shutters or under bark.
