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
Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future
will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already
been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol,
steam, hydrogen, propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.
Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or another dependable
source of current is available, transportation expects foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday
life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric deliver vans, bikes, and trolleys.
As automakers work to develop practical electric vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on
infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as
common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped
with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the
use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.
Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that
would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their
needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which is
no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times number of vehicles that can be carried by
a freeway today.

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
The body of an adult insect is subdivided into three sections, including a head, a three-segmentthorax, and
segmented abdomen. Ordinarily, the thorax bears three pairs of legs and a single or double pair of wings.
The vision of most adult insects is specialized through two large compound eyes and multiple simple eyes.
Features of an insect’s mouth parts are used in classifying insects into types. Biting mouth parts,
called mandibles, such as the mouth parts found in grasshoppers and beetles, are common among insects. Behind the
mandibles are located the maxillae, or lower jaw parts, which serve to direct food into the mouth between the jaws.
A labrum above and one below are similar to another animal’s upper and lower lips. In an insect with a sucking

mouth function, the mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified in such a way that they constitute a tube
through which liquid such as water, blood, or flower nectar can be drawn. In a butterfly or moth, this coiled drinking
tube is called theproboscis because of its resemblance, in miniature, to the trunk of an elephant or a very large nose.
Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the insect’s proboscis can be flexed and extended to reach
nectar deep in a flower. In mosquitoes or aphids, mandibles and maxillae are modified to sharp stylets with which the
insect can drill through surfaces like human or vegetable skin membranes to reach juice. In a housefly, the expanding
labium forms a spongelike mouth pad that it can use to stamp over the surface of food, sopping up food particles and
juices.
Insects, the most numerous creatures on our planet, are also them most adaptable. They require little food
because they are small. They easily find shelter and protection in small crevices in trees and surface geological
formations. Species of insects can evolve quickly because of their rapid reproduction cycle; they live in every
climate, some making their homes in the frozen Arctic regions and many others choosing the humid, warm, and
nutrient-rich rain forest environment. An active part of the natural food cycle, insects provide nutrition for animals
and devour waste products of other life forms.
