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 61 to 70.

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 pollutionlaws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds thatcould be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today Astechnology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, thelist 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 airpurification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a globalbasis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting form human activities However, humanproduction 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 thepollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for asubstance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of anincrease 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, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until itslevel reaches about 15 ppm

Question 61: What does the passage mainly discuss?

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

C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere Question 62: The word "adversely" in line 2 is closest in meaning to .

Question 63: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .

A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

B most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

C the definition of air pollution will continue to change

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 64: The word "altered" in line 10 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 65 Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the

following reasons?

A They function as part of a purification process.

B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

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

D They have existed since the Earth developed.

Question 66: According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air

pollution in localized regions?

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

B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.

C It will damage areas outside of the localized regions.

D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants.

Question 67: The word "noxious' in line 16 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 68:According to the passage, the numerical value 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

Question 69: The word "detectable" in line 21 is closest in meaning to .

Question 70: 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.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living

things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of

flowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large

quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many

creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable

to withstand its desiccating effects No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footedrunning and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal,

silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having

adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many

would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of

the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the

temperature is only 60 degrees

A “Desert Plants”

B “Life Underground”

C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment”

A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert

B water is an essential part of his existence

C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

D very few large animals are found in the desert

Question 39: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following

EXCEPT _

A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat

C moist-skinned animals D many large animals

Question 40: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _

A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

Question 41: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of

desert animals EXCEPT _

A they sleep during the day

B they dig home underground

B people

D minutes

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn bybeing corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices athousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the languagethose around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his languagelike other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to dowithout being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their ownperformances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, letalone correct them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that he would nevernotice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is tothat problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not

Read the following passage and choose the right answer to each of the questions.

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed forsuch foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being

debated Advocates of organic foods- a term whose meaning varies greatly- frequently

proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical

North American diet is a welcome development However, much of this interest has

been sparked by sweeping claims that the foods supply is unsafe or inadequate in themeeting nutritional needs Although most of these claims are not supported by scientificevidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such claims makes it difficultfor the general public to separate fact from fiction As a result, claims that eating a dietconsisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or providesother benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basic for folklore

Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins,and other wonder foods There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that naturalvitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior tounfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like

One thing that most organically grown foods products seem to have in common isthat they cost more than conventionally grown foods But in many cases consumers aremisled if they believe foods So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularlythose with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy expensive organicfoods instead.

Question 66 The “ welcome development” mentioned in paragraph 2 is an increase in

Read the passage and choose the best answer:

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man However, he foresaw

its universally destructive powers too late Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite,

so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who

had made worthwhile contributions to humanity Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,

chemistry, medicine, and peace Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony

Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the

evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it

produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men fromNew England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammaticallycorrect, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer

were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were

fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression;

no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women

Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his ownmajor work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes theworld connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time,these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument,"powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit

of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as anautonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literatureestablish itself as a producer of major works

The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of theAmerican press in the late nineteenth century The first full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 inthe New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement,similar to today’s Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst’s rival NewYork paper, the Morning Journal

Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comicrelief boosted the sale of papers The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the “Yellow Kid”,

the first continuous comic character in the United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst The “Yellow Kid” was in many ways a pioneer Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech

balloon inside the strip, usually placed above the characters’ heads

The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s

“Katzenjammer Kids”, based on Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth

century The “Kids” strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips It

contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into smallregular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics

Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughoutthe country Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind.The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904 It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915

black-and-white comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.

41 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A A comparison of two popular comic strips
