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.
It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people
subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies
are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and

biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal
with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating
habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further
investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which release tension
but rather the act of chewing.
A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of
taste and crave more flavorful food than non- obese people. When deprived of the variety and
intensity of taste, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need.
Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that
overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite.
This did not happen to average-weight people.
In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically
induced hunger for carbohydrates subsides. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a
neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for
carbohydrates subsides.


Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However,
it has been found that mild exercise, such as using stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the
long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to
continue over a long periods of time and which also increases appetite.
Question 09. Years ago being overweight meant________.

Question 12. It can be inferred that for certain people________.
A. Eating carbohydrates eliminates hunger.

A. it is a chemical that increase the appetite

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.
[1]
Widespread evidence links global warming to a series of environmental effects.

[2]
Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon
and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along


Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of
climate change discovered by a new research in Nature that paints a dark portrait of what a
warming world will look like in the years to come.
[3]
The researchers analyzed 829 abnormal phenomena - including melting glaciers - along
with nearly 30,000 changes in plants and animals and found that about 90% of them are in sync
with scientists’ predictions about how global warming will change the planet.
[4]
“In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0.6 0C and are
projected to jump by about 1.70C by the end of the century,” says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads
the Climate Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University
in New York. “We’ve already seen that a relatively low amount of warming,” she says, “can result in
a broad range of changes.”
[5]
The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon
dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North
America alone, scientists have identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly, which
have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain, apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in
response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the insects that use certain plants for
food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings and
mating patterns to survive.
[6]
To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter’s
thaw, are returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past.
All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the

insects reappear may starve to death.
[7]
“Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they
used to,” says Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.

D. global warming has changed all the plants and animals
Question 24: The word “projected” in the passage is closest in meaning to__________.
A. forced
B. presented
C. indicated

A. Because they need to follow some insects for food.
B. Because certain trees bloom a month ahead of time.
C. Because the warm weather wakes them up earlier.
D. Because the plants they use to hunt food bloom late.

B. certain trees bloom a season ahead of time
