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 38 to 47.

The air above our head is becoming cleaner A breath of fresh air has been running right round the planet for

the past five years The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution Paul Novell of the University of Colorado,

the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says, “It seems as if the planet’s own cleaning service has suddenly got a new lease of life Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there”.

Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have

significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for the planet itself The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica.

Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhaust and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warning, has fallen slightly.

There are two theories about why pollution is disappearing First that there is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smogs and acid rain starting to have a global impact Second, that the planet may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up.

The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl It is present throughout the atmosphere

in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them The amount of hydroxyl in the air has

fallen by a quarter in 1980s Now it may be reviving for two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole has

expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants.

Question 38: What is the main topic of the passage?

A The changing pollutants in the atmosphere B The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere.

C Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere D The oxygenation of the atmosphere.

Question 39: The word “purging” in line 2 is closest in meaning to .

A filtering B refining C destroying D ridding

Question 40: According to the passage, life expectancy partly depends on people having .

A recommendations from university research B improvement in atmosphere conditions

C access to details about atmospheric pollution D changes in their lifestyle

Question 41: The word “toll” in line 5 could best be replaced by .

Question 42: What does the author suggest is the main cause of pollution reduction?

A Fewer cattle and gas fields B A smaller number of cars.

C A curtailment of chemicals D Less impact from burning forests.

Question 43: The word “it” in paragraph 5 refers to .

A urban smog B the ozone hole C acid rain D a clean-up agent

Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the cleansing of the planet is .

A inexplicable B predictable C surprising D confusing

Question 45: Based on information in the passage, all of the following information referring to hydroxyl is true

EXCEPT .

A oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl.

B there is difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl.

C ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl.

D the reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl.

Question 46: The word “reviving” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .

A reproducing B repeating C reappearing D refreshing

Question 47: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A The decrease of methane has enabled ultraviolet radiation to enter the atmosphere.

B The beneficial effect of hydroxyl has aided the cleaning process.

C The reduction in carbon dioxide has produced a cleaner atmosphere.

D An expansion in hydroxyl has enlarged the ozone hole.

Question 48: Oil strikes on the (A) North Slope in the (B) Alaska provided the fuel to drive its (C) economic (D)

If you ask a hundred people to look (55) the future, you will probably get a hundred different answers But two major themes seem to emerge from almost every prediction made.

The first is (56) in every aspect of our lives We’ll probably be living in what futurologists have called a ‘multi-option society’ You may be married with two children, but this won’t be the norm any more It will simply be one of a number of choices, along with living in groups and living alone.

The other huge (57) on our lives will be micro technology – computers and telecommunications Take work, for instance Factories will be run largely by robots, so they’ll be cleaner places for the few people who work in them Offices, too, will go electronic with the result that paper will almost completely disappear More people will work from home at computers (58) to a head office Their homes may even be turned into

‘electronic cottages’, with Mum, Dad and even the children all sharing one or maybe two jobs.

(59) travel, it’s likely that space-shuttle technology will be used in normal air travel, with rocket motors being used to get an aircraft (60) the Earth’s atmosphere to a height of 300 kilometers Here the plane could accelerate up to 15.000 kph before re-entering the atmosphere and landing normally This would (61) it possible to go from London to New York for the evening.

Cars will still be with us, although their body panels will probably be plastic so that we can fit on new ones when they are damaged, or when we get bored with the colour or style They’ll be fitted with computers to tell us how efficiently we are driving, and if there’s anything wrong with the engine And, instead of petrol, they could run

on anything from electricity to methane gas.

One of the most exciting ideas of all is the hologram – a three-dimensional image created by lasers Eventually you might be able to watch holograms (62) actually move Can you imagine watching miniature tennis players playing the Australian Open finals in your own living-room?

VI 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 term “art deco” has come to encompass three distinct but related design trends of the 1920’s and 1930’s The first was what is frequently referred to as “zigzag moderne” –the exotically

ornamental style of such skyscrapers as the Chrysler Building in New York City and relatedstructures such as the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California The word “zigzag” alludes to thegeometric and stylized ornamentation of zigzags, angular patterns, abstracted plant and animal motifs,sunbursts, astrological imagery, formalized fountains, and related themes that were applied in mosaicrelief and mural form to the exterior and interior of the buildings Many of these buildings were

shaped in the ziggurat form, a design resembling an ancient Mesopotamian temple tower that

recedes in progressively smaller stages to the summit, creating a staircase-like effect

The second manifestation of art deco was the 1930’s “streamlined moderne” style—aFuturistic-looking aerodynamic style of rounded corners and horizontal bands known as “speedstripes.” In architecture, these elements were frequently accompanied by round windows, extensiveuse of glass block, and flat rooftops

The third style, referred to as “ international stripped classicism” also came to the forefront

during the Depression, a period of severe economic difficult in the 1930’s This was a moreconservative style, blending a simplified modernistic style with a more austere form of geometric andstylized relief sculpture and other ornament, including interior murals May buildings in this stylewere erected nationwide through government programs during the Depression

Although art deco in its many forms was largely perceived as thoroughly modern, it wasstrongly influenced by the decorative arts movements that immediately preceded it For example, like

“art nouveau” (1890-1910), art deco also used plant motifs, but regularized the forms into abstractedrepetitive patterns rather than presenting them as flowing, asymmetrical foliage, Like the Viennesecraftspeople of the Wiener Werkstatte, art deco designers worked with exotic materials,geometricized shapes, and colorfully ornate patterns Furthermore, like the artisans of the Arts andCrafts Movement in England and the United States, art deep practitioners considered it their mission

to transform the domestic environment through well-designed furniture and household accessories

VIII 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

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the

atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely.

Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the firstair pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants werelimited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmfulsubstances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects ofvarious chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, evenwater vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, andnitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of thesepollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in

biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to

move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature's output of these compoundsdwarfs that resulting from human activities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a

region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purificationscheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air.The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrationsthat the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration neednot be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until weknow how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally

in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million

(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, has a naturallevel of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm

Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A What constitutes an air pollutant B The economic impact of air pollution.

C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the

atmosphere

Question 56: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

A admittedly B quickly C considerably D negatively

Question 57: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.

A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

B the definition of air pollution will continue to change

C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 58: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.

A the components in biogeochemical cycles B the various chemical reactions

C the pollutants from the developing Earth D the compounds moved to the water

Question 59: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role

in controlling air pollution?

A They function as part of a purification process.

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common tothink of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside theclassroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulatetoys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells intheir environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important totheir world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, andmathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors arelikely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with otherchildren After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives,such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study oflearning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children.Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certainexperiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles oflearning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists whostudy memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain

later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in

behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a

single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a

form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence,such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between abehavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is,

by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, andmotor skills

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting,

from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the

adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable

attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does

not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards,

under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws,

conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, betweenelite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global

cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like

culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yetthis is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual

behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the

19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have

twists and turns Styles change So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word

cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature,

philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No singlealternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, andmost recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or morecivilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is nosingle, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) andmedical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology wealso acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

Question 42: According to the passage, the word culture .

A is related to the preparation and use of land for farming

B develops from Greek and Roman literature and history

C comes from a source that has not been identified

D derives from the same root as civilization does

Question 43: It is stated in paragraph 1 that a cultured person _.

A has a job related to cultivation B takes care of the soil and what grows on it

C has knowledge of arts, literature, and music D does a job relevant to education

Question 44: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that _.

A share the same word formation pattern B are both related to agriculture and cultivation

C have nearly the same meaning D do not develop from the same meaning

Question 45: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century .

A schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

B classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects

C classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects

D all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history

Question 46: The word “attributes” in paragraph 1 most likely means .

Question 47: The word “static” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “ _”.

Question 48: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?

A Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture.

B Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization.

C The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people.
