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.
We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At present we are forced to look to other bodies
in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the Earth was like.
Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have provided
ample evidence that all these large celestial bodies were bombarded by smaller objects in a wide variety
of sizes shortly after the larger bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have affected Earth as
well. The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its present low level about 4 billion
years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions have obliterated the craters that must have
formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth's age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive elements in rocks.
The oldest Earth rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion years old. But no one knows whether these
are the oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on rocks from the moon and on meteorites show that these are about
4.6 billion years old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar system and probably the true
age of the Earth

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 following questions.


Glen Brook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an
award- winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific American
students- over 17 percent of the students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American.
This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The
interactions of the Korean Americans students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week
magazine.
Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school where most students
are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean
Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian
Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude.
Eighteen-year-old Alice said that she used to spend time only with Korean American friends.
Although she felt secure with those friends, she found herself motivated to form closer relationships
with non-Koreans, too. She said that she felt she was missing out on new experiences and challenges.
Seventeen-year-old John moved in the opposite direction. In junior high school, most of John’s

friends were white. After coming to GBS, his sense of his Korean American identity was restored, and
he decided to have mainly Korean American friends. He feels that he and his Korean American friends
understand each other better. For example, they understand about severe parental pressure to succeed at
school; John felt his white friends couldn’t really understand.
Sixteen-year-old Paul has some Korean American friends, but he says he spends most of his time
with his white friends. He is often the only Asian American in the group, but he doesn’t mind. What
Paul likes about the white culture is that he can be more radical- he can be as loud and funny as he
wants to be. He says he doesn’t see as much of that among the Asian students.
Without betittling the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that
their opinions at this phase of their lives are bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these
honest opinions can help us better understand issues of cultural relations, and their honesty might help
Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future.
Question 32: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. different opinions of the friends of Korean American students
B. how an Illinois high school welcomes Korean American students
C. how Korea American students interact among themselves and with others
D. why Illinois is a very special state
Question 33: According to the first paragraph, what makes GBS an unusual high school?
A. It has a high percentage of Korean American students compared to the percentage in the
state.
B. It is in the state of Illinois, which is very far from Korea.
C. It is in the suburb where the Korean American population is low.
D. All its Korean American students prefer to have white friends.
Question 34: According to paragraph 2, who can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed?
A. Korean American students when they are interviewed
B. GBS students who have different attitudes
C. students who react differently to being Korean American
D. Korean American students in a mostly white school
Question 35: Which statement best summarizes Alice’s attitude?
A. She feels that her white friends don’t really understand her.

B. She feels she is missing out on experiences with her Korean American friends.

A. grace
