Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks from (36) to (45). It may seem unlikely that monkeys or cats would be able to hear the subtleties in human speech. After all, creatures (36) than humans neither speak human languages nor comprehend most of them. (37) , scientists who study hearing have found that the auditory (38) of animals and humans respond to speech sounds in remarkably (39) ways. Scientists see hearing in humans and higher animals (40) an act of computer like - processing (41) which a sound enters the ear and is (42) down into components.

Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from (46) to (65) Questions 46 to 57 line Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe. A few are found alone, but almost all are 1 grouped in formations termed galactic clusters. These formations should not be confused with stellar clusters, globular clusters of stars that exist within a galaxy. The size of galactic clusters varies enormously, with some clusters containing only a dozen or so members and others containing as many as 10,000. Moreover, galactic clusters themselves are part of larger clusters of clusters, termed 5 superclusters. It is surmised that even clusters of superclusters are possible. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a galactic cluster called the Local Group, which has twenty members and is typical in terms of the types of galaxies it contains. There are three large spiral galaxies: Andromeda, the largest galaxy in the group; the Milky Way, the second-largest galaxy; and the Trianglum Spiral, the third largest. There are also four medium-sized spiral galaxies, includ- 10 ing the Large Cloud of Magellan and the Small Cloud of Magellan. There are four regular elliptical galaxies; the remainder are dwarf ellipticals. Other than our own galaxy, only Andromeda and the Clouds of Magellan can be seen with the naked eye, and the Clouds are visible only from the Southern Hemisphere. In the vicinity of the Local Group are several clusters, each containing around twelve members. 15 The nearest cluster rich in members is the Virgo Cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies of all types. Like most large clusters, it emits X rays. The Local Group, the small neighboring clusters, and the Virgo Cluster form part of a much larger cluster of clusters – the Local Supercluster. The existence of galactic clusters presented a riddle to scientists for many years – the “missing mass” problem. Clusters are presumably held together by the gravity generated by their members. 20 However, measurements showed that the galaxies did not have enough mass to explain their apparent stability. Why didn’t these clusters disintegrate? It is now thought that galaxies contain great amounts of “dark matter”, which cannot be directly observed but which generates gravitational pull. This matter includes gas, dust, burnt-out stars, and even black holes. 46. Which of the followings does the passage 52. In the Local Group, which of the following mainly discuss? types of galaxies are most numerous? (A) Clusters and superclusters of galaxies (A) Large spirals (B) An astronomical problem that has (B) Medium-sized spirals never been solved. (C) Regular ellipticals (C) A recent development in astronomy. (D) Dwarf ellipticals (D) The incredible distance between galaxies. 53. All of the following are visible from 47.

As used throughout the passage, the word (B) In the number of galaxies it contains members refers to (C) In its shape (A) stars (D) In the types of galaxies that make it up (B) galaxies (C) scientists (D) clusters Questions 58 to 65 line For a long time, amphibians were confused with reptiles. Like reptiles, they have three-chambered 1 hearts and are cold-blooded. Some amphibians, such as salamanders, are even shaped like lizards. However, unlike reptiles, amphibians never have claws on their toes or scales on their bodies. Furthermore, the eggs of amphibians lack shells, so they must be laid in water or in moist places Amphibians were the first creatures to spend sizable amounts of their lives on land. The larvae 5 of most amphibians, such as frog tadpoles, are born with gills and live in water. However, their gills disappear as they develop lungs. Most retain the ability to breathe through the moist surface of their skin. This comes in handy when they hibernate in the bottom mud of lakes and ponds during the coldest months. They take in the small amount of oxygen they need through their skin. Some amphibians undergo what is known as a “double metamorphosis”, changing not only from gill 10 breathers to lung breathers but also from vegetarians to insectivores. Although the amphibian class is rather small in number of species, it shows great diversity. There are three major types. The caecilians of the tropics are long, legless, burrowing creatures. Caudate amphibians, such as newts and salamanders, mostly have long tails and stubby legs. Salien- tians, which include both frogs and toads, are tailless as adults and have powerful hind legs. Toads 15 differ from frogs primarily in that they have dry, warty skin. 58. The author’s main purpose in writing the 62. It can be inferred from the passage that passage is to amphibians’ ability to breathe through their (A) define and describe amphibians skin is especially useful during the (B) contrast different types of amphibians (A) summer (C) trace the development of amphibians (B) fall from larvae to adults (C) winter (D) explain how amphibians differ from (D) spring other creatures 63.
