We are all too well aware that the extinction of animal and plant species is one of the biggest and most horrifying threats (23) our planet these days Having said that, there has recently been some good news out of Russia regarding something called regeneration - a(n) (24) solution

to this ever-growing problem

Regeneration involves (25) tissue from a plant or animal that has become extinct and

‘bringing it back to life’ In recent Russian experiments, scientists took fruit and seeds from the underground burrow of a long-dead Siberian squirrel and process to regenerate a beautiful flower called the Silene stenophylla To date, it is the oldest plant to be produced from the innovative regeneration (26)

Understandably, experts are over the moon about their success as it shows once and for all that tissue can survive ice conservation for thousands of years Those who participated in the

flower are pleased and are now hoping to find prehistoric squirrel tissue or perhaps even (27) tissue from the great woolly mammoth, which could lead to the resurrection of those two species

have electricity His family was poor Soichiro had eight brothers and sisters Sadly, five of them died when they were young because they did not have good medical care When Soichiro was eight years old, he saw his first automobile He was amazed by it For the next 50 years, he loved machines on wheels When he was 15 years old, Soichiro left his village to work at an auto repair shop in Tokyo It was then that Honda discovered motorcycles He spent all of his free time fixing and riding motorcycles He returned to his village six years later to open his own garage Soon he owned several shops and had over 50 employees

At the same time, he began to build and race motorcycles and cars Honda loved to race, and he became one of Japan’s most competitive drivers In 1936, his race car crashed while he was driving

100 miles per hour Half of Honda’s face was crushed, and he had other serious injuries It took him a year and a half to recover After this, his family begged him to give up racing He looked for

a less dangerous job and finally decided to become a manufacturer

At first, he manufactured engine parts The Japanese navy used a lot of his engine parts in World War

In 1948, after the war, he started the Honda Motor Company He started the company with only

$3,300 He made his first machines from engine parts that the military did not need after the war These machines were not real motorcycles; they were bicycles with motors People bought them because they needed a reliable form of transportation As Honda’s business grew, he began to make different types of motorcycles By 1950, his motorcycles were selling all over Japan But there were 50 other motorcycle makers in Japan at the time In 1958, Honda designed a lightweight

motorcycle called the Super Cub It was a huge success and Honda made a lot of money Two years

later, Honda built the world’s biggest motorcycle factory in Japan

By the 1960s, the Super Cub was popular all over Asia But Honda wanted the motorcycle to be popular all over the world In Europe, he put his motorcycles in difficult races to show how good they were In the United States, he tried a different method He used a magazine ad with the words

“You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda." It showed ordinary Americans such as students, businessmen, and older people all riding happily on the Honda Super Cub The ad appeared in

many popular magazines

In 1963, his company started to make cars In 1972, it produced the Civic-, the next year, the Accord; and then in 1978, the Prelude Soon, the company was one of the world’s biggest

automobile makers Honda was also famous for his business style He believed that workers and bosses should have a close relationship He also thought it was important to encourage workers to

do their best

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

The idea of preserving biological diversity gives most people a warm feeling inside But what, exactly, is diversity? And which kind is most worth preserving? It may be anathema to save-the-lot environmentalists who hate setting such priorities, but academics are starting to cook up answers

Andrew Solow, a mathematician at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and his colleagues argue that in the eyes of conservation, all species should not be equal Even more controversially, they suggest that preserving the rarest is not always the best approach Their measure of diversity is the amount of evolutionary distance between species They reckon that if choices must be made, then the number of times that cousins are removed from one another should

be one of the criteria

This makes sense from both a practical and an aesthetic point of view Close relatives have many genes in common If those genes might be medically or agriculturally valuable, saving one is nearly

as good as saving both And different forms are more interesting to admire and study than lots of things that look the same Dr Solow’s group illustrates its thesis with an example Six species of crane are at some risk of extinction Breeding in captivity might save them But suppose there were only enough money to protect three Which ones should be picked?

The genetic distances between 14 species of cranes, including the six at risk, have already been established using a technique known as DNA hybridisation The group estimated how likely it was that each of these 14 species would become extinct in the next 50 years Unendangered species were assigned a 10% chance of meeting the Darwinian reaper-man; the most vulnerable, a 90% chance Captive breeding was assumed to reduce an otherwise endangered species’ risk to the 10% level of the safest Dr Solow’s computer permed all possible combinations of three from six and came to the conclusion that protecting the Siberian, white-naped and black-necked cranes gave the smallest likely loss of biological diversity over the next five decades The other three had close relatives in little need of protection Even if they became extinct, most of their genes would be saved

Building on the work of this group, Martin Weitzman, of Harvard University, argues that conservation policy needs to take account not only of some firm measure of the genetic relationships of species to each other and their likelihood of survival, but also the costs of preserving them Where species are equally important in genetic terms, and - an important and improbable precondition - where the protection of one species can be assured at the expense of another, he argues for making safe species safer, rather than endangered species less endangered

In practice, it is difficult to choose between species Most of those at risk - especially plants, the group most likely to yield useful medicines - are under threat because their habitats are in trouble, not because they are being shot, or plucked, to extinction Nor can conservationists choose among the millions of species that theory predicts must exist, but that have not yet been classified by the biologists assigned to that tedious task

This is not necessarily cause for despair At the moment, the usual way to save the genes in these creatures is to find the bits of the world with the largest number of species and try to protect them from the bulldozers What economists require from biologists are more sophisticated ways to estimate the diversity of groups of organisms that happen to live together, as well as those which are related to each other With clearer goals established, economic theory can then tell environmentalists where to go

21st century teachers need to serve as a guide or mentor for their students, not as the all-knowing sage providing them with everything they need Nowadays, with so much access (23) resources of all kinds, children invariably know more than teachers on different topics, step ahead of the technology Teachers need to be empowered as facilitators for learning, so that they can empower their students in (24) This shift is great news for teachers Instead of struggling to give kids all the information in areas (25) they know little about, teachers can

support students as they make their own steps into different fields It’s about preparing them to go beyond their seniors, ensuring they have the skills to do it, and assisting them along the way (26) , teachers need to be forward- thinking, curious and flexible They must be learners: learning new teaching methods, and learning alongside their students Simply asking questions like

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

A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that

is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals

Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There

is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modem equivalent in Anglo-America is

the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving

devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles

The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-

based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different

from “folk”

The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly

Folk-or cheaply produced, is easier Folk-or time saving to use, Folk-or lends mFolk-ore prestige to the owner

Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Two decades in modem society

B The influence of industrial technology

C The characteristics of “folk” and “popular” societies

D The specialization of labor in Canada and the United States

Question 36: Which of the following is typical of folk cultures?

A There is a money-based economy

B Social change occurs slowly

C Contact with other cultures is encouraged

D Each person develops one specialized skill

Question 37: What does the author imply about the United States and Canada?

A They value folk cultures

B They have no social classes

C They have popular cultures

D They do not value individualism

Question 38: The phrase “largely renounces” is closest in meaning to

A generally rejects B greatly modifies C loudly declares D often criticizes

Question 39: What is the main source of order in Amish society?

A The government B The economy C The clan structure D The religion

Question 40: Which of the following statements about Amish beliefs does the passage support?

A A variety of religious practices is tolerated

B Individualism and competition are important

C Pre-modem technology is preferred

D People are defined according to their class

Question 41: The word “prevails” is closest in meaning to

A dominates B provides C develops D invests

by mass-produced objects?

When we have learned to command it, jargon is something we readily take (25) in whether the subject is motorcycling, baseball or computers It can add pace, variety and humor to speech -

as when, with an important event approaching, we might slip into the related jargon We enjoy the mutual showing off which stems from a fluent use of terminology, we enjoy the in-jokes (26) shared linguistic experience permits (27) , we are jealous of this knowledge

We are quick to demean anyone who tries to be part of our group without being prepared to take

on its jargon And we resent it when some other group, sensing our lack of linguistic awareness, refuses to let us in

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 28 to 34

The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more

commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read

a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting And, if

you are eating in a very rustic setting, it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you

are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe

to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types
