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

The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but a 2009 study showed that it was not the disruptive force The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences

Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not

see them as divisive That is partly because of the areas of difference The top areas of disagreement

between young and old people, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste

in music Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults

If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold

First, the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally charged than

political issues The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in

technology rather than to view it as a problem As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire

Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation

as superior to their own generation – clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't

trust anyone over thirty!" According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior

in moral values, work ethics and respect for others

Question 39 Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

A The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years

B Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America

C Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families

D The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time

Question 40 The word "divisive" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _

disagreement?

A The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation

B The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation

C The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one

D The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation

Question 42 The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to _

Question 43 According to the passage, which is NOT true?

A Technology is one of the two biggest areas creating the gap between the old and the young

B The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others

C The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences

D Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills

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

Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the planet The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by scientists working in eastern Antarctica Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice from the hole The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year Thus, drilling

into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time

The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago Scientists

in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air released from bubbles in the ice Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in the frozen water

to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that particular bit of water became locked in the glacier

The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon

dioxide Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5°C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190 parts per million

or so Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per million, but never rose much higher until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing today

There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change goes back much further than the glacial record Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million years ago The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned today

Question 44 Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?

A Effects of plant life on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

B Evidence of a relationship between levels of carbon dioxide and global temperature

C Techniques for studying ancient layers of ice in glaciers

D Chemical causes of ice ages

Question 45 According to the passage, the drilling of the glacier in eastern Antarctica was important

because it

A permitted the study of surface temperatures in an ice-covered region of the Earth

B confirmed earlier findings about how glaciers are formed

C provided insight about climate conditions in earlier periods

D allowed scientists to experiment with new drilling techniques

Question 46 The phrase "tantamount to" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 47 According to the passage, scientists used isotopes from the water of the ice core to determine

which of following?

A The amount of air that had bubbled to the surface since the ice had formed

B The temperature of the atmosphere when the ice was formed

C The rate at which water had been frozen in the glacier

D The date at which water had become locked in the glacier

Question 48 The word "remarkable" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

Question 49 The passage explains the origin of which of the following terms?

Question 50 According to the passage, the Carboniferous period was characterized by

A the burning of a large amount of coal

B a reduction in the number of coal deposits

C an abundance of plants

D an accelerated rate of glacier formation
