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 from 28 to 34.
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview
before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which
often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important
points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that
their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor
understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study
skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to
monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their
understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little
evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students

who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort
beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning
disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized.
Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often


have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing
work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful
manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why
good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective
study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

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 from 35 to 42.
Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the
changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our
planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they
occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are
said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is
becoming alarmingly rapid.
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts,
this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last
10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could

give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of
droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called
greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and
modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the
atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads
to the warming up of the planet.
Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on
the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries.


Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that
the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and
were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb
greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too
drastic deforestation.
Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate
changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering
Question 35: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ

A. They were wholly the result of human activity.

A. do not add to atmosphere pollution
B. are emitted by car engines
C. trap heat from the sun
D. are unusual gases
Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible
for global warming are_________.
A. developing countries
B. countries with the warmest climate
C. the most industrialized countries
D. developed countries

B. Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
C. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
