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

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What

causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a change environment, it may perish The exact

causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be adapt Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in

competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species The fossil record reveals that extinction has

occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time - a mass extinction One of the best - known examples of

mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life.

Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately

95 percent of all species died Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead

to a mass extinction One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250

million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years The periodic extinction might be due

to intersection of the earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events

HIV BREAKTHROUGH

Scientist have believed that they have made a (45) breakthrough in fighting HIV- they

have shown what happens when an infection-fighting antibody attacks a gap in HIV’s considerable defenses Finding a vaccine against HIV has been very difficult because the proteins on the surface of the virus are continually mutating, but they have shown an antibody, called b12, attacking a weak spot of the

virus where the protein is (46) The virus is able to (47) rapidly to avoid (48)

by the immune system, and is also covered in sugary molecules which block access by antibodies However,

certain parts of the virus must remain (49) unchanged so that it can catch hold of and enter

human cells One protein that sticks out from the surface of the virus and binds to receptors on host cells is one such region, which makes it a target for vaccine development Previous analyses of the bleeding of

people that have been able to keep HIV from developing into AIDS for long periods of time (50) revealed a (51) group of antibodies- including b12- that seem to fight HIV with some degree of (52) The latest study showed how the antibody and the protein interact Scientists hope that revealing the (53) of this bond in such (54) detail will provide clues about how best to

attack

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

Perhaps the most obvious way artistic creation reflects how people live is by mirroring the environment-the materials and technologies available to a culture Stone, wood, tree bark, clay, and sand are generally available materials In addition, depending on the locality, other resources may be accessible: shells, horns, gold, copper, and silver The different uses to which societies put these materials

are of interest to anthropologists who may ask, for example, why people choose to use clay and not copper

when both items are available Although there are no conclusive answers yet, the way in which a society views its environment is sometimes apparent in its choice and use of artistic materials The use of certain

metals, for example, may be reserved for ceremonial objects of special importance Or the belief in the

supernatural powers of a stone or tree may cause a sculptor to be sensitive to that material What is

particularly meaningful to anthropologist is the realization that although the materials available to a

society may to some extent limit or influence what it can do artistically, the materials by no means

determine what is done Why does the artist in Japanese society rake sand into patterns; and the artist in Roman society melt sand to form glass? Moreover, even when the same material is used in the same way

by members of different societies, the form or style of the work varies enormously from culture to culture.

A society may simply choose to represent objects or phenomena that are important to its population An

examination of the art of the Middle Ages tells us something about the medieval preoccupation with theological doctrine In addition to revealing the primary concerns of a society, the content of that

society's art may also reflect the culture's social stratification.

Question 55: According to the passage, gold, copper, and silver are .

A more difficult to handle than wood and stone B commonly used by artists in all societies

C essential to create ceremonial objects D available only in specific locations

Question 56: The word “conclusive” in the passage is closest in meaning to .

A definitive B controversial C concurrent D realistic

Question 57: The word “apparent” in the passage is closest in meaning to .

A attractive B logical C evident D distinct

Question 58: Why does the author mention the “supernatural powers of a stone or tree” in the

passage?

A To show that some sculptors avoid working with specific materials

B To emphasize the unusual properties of certain materials

C As an example of how art can be influenced by cultural beliefs

D As an illustration of the impact of the environment on religious beliefs

Question 59: The word ‘it” in the passage refers to .

A realization B society C extent D influence

Question 60: it can be inferred that the author mentions the Japanese and Roman societies

because .

A influenced each other

B of their stable social conditions

C they used the same artistic material in very different ways

D of the unique stylistic features of their art

Question 61: According to the passage, all of the following statements about sand are true

EXCEPT .

A it is used to create glass

B Roman artists mix it into their paints

C Japanese artists use it to create artistic patterns

D Its use varies from culture to culture

Question 62: The word “Moreover” in the passage is closest in meaning to .

A similarity B in addition C in contrast D frequently

Question 63: The word “preoccupation” in the passage is closest in meaning to .

A involvement B separation C relationship D argument

Question 64: The word “primary” in the passage is closest in meaning to

A discrete B preliminary C ideal D fundamental
