In today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future

No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even

be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as ducational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might

be better to devote resources to music and art programs

It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there learning

to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards

(Source: Internet) Question 30: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?

C Never too early to start D More computers mean brighter future

Question 31: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers

A will suffer from brain damage

B tend to have more accidents than those who do not

C do not necessarily make more progress than those do not

D tend to like music and art more than those who do not

Question 33: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children

B It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons

C There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who do not

D Computers seriously harm children’s eyesight

Question 34: The word “ludicrous” paragraph 3 mostly means

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 35 to 42

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity

The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such

as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety

of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact, there 1s wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments

(Source: Internet) Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

B Actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction

C Earth's climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs' extinction

D The cause of the dinosaurs’ extinction is unknown

Question 40: The word "magnitude" in paragraph 3 mostly means

Question 41: According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from change caused

by humans in that changes caused by humans

A affect fewer ecosystems B are occurring at a much faster rate

C are less devastating to most species D are reversible

Question 42: Which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree with?

A Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems

B Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems
