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 36 to 42.
There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of 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
Trang 5many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight
Question 36 The author believes the theories of aging are .
A well-supported hypotheses B poorly supported hypotheses
Question 37 The word "vein" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A part of the body B point of view C blood vessel D cellular level
Question 38 The author of the article points out that cancer cells .
C divide more in adults than in embryos D bring on aging
Question 39 The word "culture" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
Question 40 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?
C Loss of genetic material D Chemical damage from the environment Question 41 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 42 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
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.
Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills
These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City,
are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels
that sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s Families trying to escape the
heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason,
Trang 6Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here Since the introduction
of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year Many of the Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today's visitors
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area
Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles For more information on
vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information
Question 43 What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A to promote the Catskills as a vacation destination.
B to introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainers.
C to describe the history of the Catskills region.
D to compare the Catskills to New England.
Question 44 The word "rugged" in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by which of the
following?
Question 45 According to the passage, which of the following caused the decline in the number
of resorts in the 1970s?
A television B shorter vacations C affordable air travel D more traffic
Question 46 The phrase "sprang up" in paragraph 2 most probably refers to something that
has
A burst forth B spread out C operated vigorously D joined together Question 47 In what season would a tourist most likely have visited the Catskills in the 1950s?
Question 48 What does the passage imply that a visitor might be lucky enough to do?
A see fall leaves in color B see a kind of bird
Question 49 As used in paragraph 3, which of the following could best replace the word
"spotting"?
Question 50 The author implies that in the Catskills, there are few .
