Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginning of agriculture The global need for weed control has been answered mainly by the chemical industry Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused Toxic compounds threaten animals and public health when they are present in food plant, ground water, and drinking water They also harm workers who apply them

In recent years the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world’s weed problems Therefore, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms

The biological agents now in use are harmless to humans, environmentally friendly, and offer the

benefits of specificity They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and

other plants untouched In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill almost all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant to those that have been genetically modified for resistance Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after that no added applications are needed Chemicals, typically, must be used several times per growing season

B The dangers of toxic chemicals

C Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones

In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals Although they are important, these visible

expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg

of culture Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist

Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without

being aware of it When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we

have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal We tend

to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences

Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences If the differences were more visible, we

might have less misunderstanding For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic

clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise

B To describe cultural diversity

C To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture

D To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs

Question 44: The word "deliberately" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

B What food to eat in a courthouse

C What topics to avoid in conversation

D How late is considered impolite

Question 46: The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to

A invisible cultural assumptions B people from a different culture

C topics that should be avoided in conversation D people who speak a different language

Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A We are often aware that we are learning about culture

B Visible aspects of cultures receive much attention in discussion of cultural diversity

C People misinterpret other people's behavior because they know they are experiencing cultural

differences

D Invisible cultural differences are often witnessed at formal organizations and institutions

A one culture is more invisible than another culture

B people compete with those from other cultures

C some people recognize more cultural differences than others

D people think cultural differences are personal

Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour wave and is used as the scientific term for seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landside or volcanic eruption, when the

ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created similar to the concentric waves

generated by an object dropped into the water Most tsunamis originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32,500 km long that encircles the Pacific Ocean Since 1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands

A tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometers across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour Upon entering shallow coastal waters, the wave, which may have been only about half a metre high out at sea, suddenly grows rapidly When the wave reaches the shore, it maybe 15 m high or more Tsunamis have tremendous energy because of the great volume of water affected They are capable of obliterating coastal settlements

Tsunamis should nót be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underneath hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land Storm surges are particularly devastating if they occur at high tide A cyclone and accompanying storm surge skilled an estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970 The tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people

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 43 to 50

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with a minimum of supporting evidence One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become

less efficient Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all produce characteristics that we associate with aging Following a different vein, many current researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level

It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect) Fibroblast

cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult Thus some researchers believe

that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging Other theories of aging look at different processes Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a large group

of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur For

example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities,

yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners

Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with advancing

age This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance, such as the

style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid Like chronological aging, it

is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight

Question 43 What is the best title for this passage?

A Different Processes of Aging

B Outstanding Characteristics Associated with Aging

C Theories of Aging: Well Proven Hypotheses

D Theories of Aging: Poorly Supported Hypotheses

Question 44 The author points out that cancer cells _

A seem to live forever

B divide and then die

C divide more in embryos than in adults

D lose their ability to divide

Question 45 The phrase “an embryo” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

A a descendant B an infant C a parent D an internal organ

Question 46 The word “strenuous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

A basic B troublesome C mental D intense

Question 47 As explained in this passage, the theory of aging which examines the cellular level would NOT assign which of the following as a cause of aging?

A Mutation B Deterioration into the body’s immune system

C Loss of genetic material D Chemical damage from the environment

Question 48 According to the passage, chronological aging is not a good indicator of an individual’s status regarding aging because _

A elderly people are often athletic

B there is individual variation in the rate of biological aging

C strenuous activities are not good measures of age

D it is difficult to get accurate records of birth dates

Question 49 In the last paragraph, the word “this” refers to _

A cosmetic aging B type of aging C outward appearance D advancing age

Question 50 The author implies all of the following about cosmetic aging EXCEPT _

A It does not occur at the same rate for all people

B It is a poor indicator of chronological age

C Illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight cause aging to occur

D It is described by changes in outward appearance
