A They have existed since the Earth developed B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They function as part of a purification process Question 31 According to the passage, human – generated air pollution in localized regions A will damage area outside of the localized regions B can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants C can overwhelm the natural system removing pollutants D will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question 32 According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A it can be calculated quickly B the natural level is also known C the other substances in the area are known D it is in a localized area Question 33 The word “detectable” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A beneficial B special C seperable D measurable Question 34 Which of the following is best supported by the passage? A Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants B To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws C One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws D Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 35 It is said that many people were homeless after the floods A Many people are said to be homeless after the floods B Many people are said to have been homeless after the floods C Many people say that they are homeless after the floods D Many people said that they were homeless after the floods Question 36 At the party last night he talked about nothing but the weather A He had nothing to say about the weather at the party last night B His sole topic of conversation at the party last night was the weather C He talked about everything including the weather at the party last night D He said he had no interest in the weather at the party last night Question 37 “What happened in London in 1950?”, the student asked the teacher A The student asked the teacher what had happened in London in 1950 B The student asked the teacher to tell him what happens in London in 1950 C The student asked the teacher for what happened in London in 1950 D The student asked the teacher what happened in London in 1950 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 A major American bank is being sued by the US authorities for allegedly discriminating against its female employees It has been alleged that women in the firm not have as good promotion prospects as the men and that their salaries are not on a par with those of their male counterparts Sexism in the workplace is against the law in America and in many other countries However, there are still obstacles in many firms which prevent women from achieving the promotion that their talents and qualifications deserve Many women are promoted quite rapidly through the junior jobs in a firm, but face the glass ceiling, when they apply for any of the most senior posts So it is that, although there are many women in middle management positions in many firms, there are very few in top management posts Many women blame this situation on the old – boy network Others see it as evidence that many men are resistant to change and are still chauvinist at heart, while some may feel that failure to promote women to top jobs is a result of feelings of insecurity in the men who are making the appointments Perhaps they are afraid of letting women become too powerful Not many years ago the power which women have today would have seemed an impossible dream to many women Before the rise of the women’s movement there were no such things as equal rights or equal opportunities for women For the most part, women were expected to get married and then be responsible for childcare and for carrying out all the household tasks If they worked, it was probably in a part-time, often rather menial job Feminists saw this as sexism and a waste of women’s talents, and set out to change things Although some people, women as well as men, now not have a high regard for feminism, women owe to feminists many of the improvements in their work situation Without them, there would be no positive discrimination, no job-sharing and no parity with men in the workplace Question 38 What could be the best title of the passage?
