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 livelihood of each species in the vast and intricate assemblage of living things depends on the existences of

other organisms This interdependence is sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious Perhaps the most straight forward

dependence of one species on another occurs with parasites, organisms that live on or in other living things and derive

nutrients directly from them The parasitic way of life is widespread A multitude of microorganisms (including viruses and

bacteria) and an army of invertebrates - or creatures lacking a spinal column (including crustaceans, insects, and many

different types of worms) - make their livings directly at the expense of other creatures In the face of this onslaught, livingthings have evolved a variety of defense mechanisms for protecting their bodies from invasion by other organisms

Certain fungi and even some kinds of bacteria secrete substances known as antibiotics into their externalenvironment These substances are capable of killing or inhibiting the growth of various kinds of bacteria that also occupy

the area, thereby eliminating or reducing the competition for nutrients The same principle is used in defense against

invaders in other groups of organisms For example, when attacked by disease - causing fungi or bacteria, many kinds ofplants produce chemicals that help to ward off the invaders

Members of the animal kingdom have developed a variety of defense mechanisms for dealing with parasites

Although these mechanisms vary considerably, all major groups of animals are capable of detecting and reacting to the

presence of "foreign" cells In fact, throughout the animal kingdom, from sponges to certain types of worms, shellfish, and

all vertebrates (creatures possessing a spinal column), there is evidence that transplants of cells or fragments of tissues into

an animal are accepted only if they come from genetically compatible or closely related individuals.

The ability to distinguish between "self" and "nonself", while present in all animals, is most efficient amongvertebrates, which have developed an immune system as their defense mechanism The immune system recognizes andtakes action against foreign invaders and transplanted tissues that are treated as foreign cells

WHAT MAKES A GOOD SOUVENIR?

On my desk at home, I have a collection of souvenirs; objects that remind me of places I’ve visited and importantevents in my life These objects include a model boat that I saw being (56) _ from a piece of wood on a Caribbeanisland, a piece of lava that (57) _ hot from a volcano in the year I was born, and a shell picked up on my favouritechildhood beach

(58) everything else, from which memory and detail fades, it is as if the longer you hold on to certainobjects, the (59) their associations with the past become, and the sharper the recollections that gather aroundthem They are, (60) , real souvenirs, encapsulations not only of the place, but of your time in the place But thesedays, the term “real souvenirs” sounds like a contradiction in (61) , and this is because the objects sold to tourists

It’s often the case that the best souvenirs, like my shell, are found rather than purchased, but (63) forsouvenirs can also be a fun holiday activity But if you are buying souvenirs on holiday this summer, make sure they(64) the reality test A good souvenir is not just made in the area where it is bought, it also says something aboutthe culture of that area It is something made by local people using sustainable local materials, and because you areeffectively supporting the local economy, it shouldn’t (65) too cheap, either

A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in

such quantities as to affect humans, animals vegetations, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible

definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenthcentury, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful

substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals hasincreased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutantunder certain conditions

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found

in nature As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they

became components in biogeochemical cycle These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds tomove from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting formhuman activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city

In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification

scheme of the cycle 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 concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of humanactivities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells uslittle until we know 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 natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reachesabout 15 ppm

Question 66: The word "altered" in line 9 refers to .

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 68: The word "detectable" in line 18 could best be replaced by “ _”.

Question 69: The word "noxious" in line 14 is closest in meaning to .

Question 70: According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air pollution in localized

regions?

A It will damage areas outside of the localized regions.

B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.

C It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region.

D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants.

Question 71: The word "adversely" in line 2 is closest in meaning to .

Question 72: Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the following reasons?

A They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants.

B They have existed since the Earth developed.

C They function as part of a purification process.

D They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

Question 73: 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 a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities D most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled Question 74: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?

A To effectively control pollution local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.

B One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.

C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.

D Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.

Question 75: According to the passage, the numerical valued of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if

A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area

C the naturally occurring level is also known D it can be calculated quickly

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions.

Question 76: A accessible B apprenticeship C apprehension D alternative

Question 78: A delicacy B deliberate C demonstrate D desperate

Question 80: A technological B personality C representative D environmental
