Bird migration is one of the most interesting yet least understood natural phenomena Every fall birds

from northern latitudes fly in groups to the warmer southern latitudes and then return north in the spring.Scientists agree on the main reasons for migration: to follow the food supply and to avoid harsh climateconditions For example, insects disappear during the cold months, prompting insect-dependent birds to fly south

to warm areas where insects breed No similar consensus has emerged, however, about how birds are able tonavigate Despite many recent experiments, bird experts still do not know how birds arrive at the samedestinations every year and then find their way back home in the spring

Some have suggested that birds find their way by following landmarks, such as rivers and mountain

ranges Experiments have confirmed that some species do follow such topographic features But that methodcannot explain how some birds travel at night Other studies show that some nocturnal birds navigate by the stars.But that explanation cannot explain daytime migration or travel when the skies are cloudy

The most popular explanation currently is that birds are guided by Earth’s magnetic poles The mechanism

by which that works has not yet been proved One theory points to the fact that some birds’ contain magnetite, anaturally occurring magnetic compound consisting of iron oxide Magnetite has been found in many animals,

including birds With magnets embedded in their brains, birds would be able to sense the magnetic fields of the

North and South Poles

A recent experiment with homing pigeons provided some evidence that magnetite does play a crucial role

in migration Homing pigeons are known to have the ability to return to their homes after being taken hundreds

of miles away Researchers found that they could train homing pigeons to recognize changes in a magnetic field

When a surrounding magnetic field was normal, the birds would gather at one end of a cage But when the field’s

polarity was altered, they hopped to the other end, suggesting that they were directing and responding to changes

in the magnetic field

Another theory has been offered to explain this sensitivity to magnetic poles, a theory that draws uponquantum mechanics, which is the study of how particles move inside an atom It relies on the fact that electronscome in pairs that orbits the nucleus of an atom The two electrons spin in opposite directions, creating twomagnets that neutralize each other But when molecules split and react with other molecules to form compounds,the electrons pairs may no longer spin in opposite directions Instead, they may repel each other, as when twonorth ends of magnets are pressed together The electrons struggle to change direction in order to achieve a stablestate in which the two electrons again neutralize each other, giving off no magnetic field

Question 35: The word “phenomena” in the passage is closest in meaning to

Question 36:According to paragraph 1, insects influence bird migration in which of the following ways?

A insects generate a magnetic field that birds can detect

B.Insects provide a food supply that exists only in warm climates

C Birds follow the paths taken by flying insects

D birds know when to migrate by a sudden increase in insect population

Question 37: The word “some” in the passage refers to

A insects B recent experiments C bird experts D birds

Question 38:According to paragraph 3, birds can detect the magnetic fields of the North and South poles because

A they sense the motion of electron pairs

B they can locate the poles by following landmarks

C they ingest metal particles that are attracted by the poles

D they have magnetite in their brains

Question 39: The word “embedded” in the passage is closest in meaning to

Question 40: The author discusses “homing pigeons” in paragraph 4 in order to

A provide an example of how humans can train birds

B describe an experiment showing the importance of magnetite

C show that homing pigeons return home by following landmarks

D report homing pigeons’ behavior inside a cage

Question 41: According to the passage, all of the following are theories about how birds navigate EXCEPT:

A They follow landmarks like rivers and mountains

B They are guided by their position relative to the stars

C.They feel vibrations in nerve endings in their brains

D They respond to changes in light

Question 42: According to paragraph 4, the pigeons moved to the opposite end of a cage because

A The magnetic field was normal

B The magnetic field was stronger at one end

C Themagnetic field changed its polarity

D The magnetic field was removed

Question 43: The word “altered” in the passage is closest in meaning to

Question 44: Which of the following can be inferred about an electron pair in two north ends of magnets?

A. The two electrons spin in opposite directions

B. One electron will move to the south end

C. One electron will be captured by the nucleus

D. Thetwo electrons spin in the same direction

We are descendants of the ice age Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of humanexistence for the past 2 million years The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the lastice age spurred one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet During this inter-glacial time, people were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development

of agriculture and animal husbandry Over the past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been

extraordinarily beneficial, and humans have prospered exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere.

Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning It is evenpossible that life itself significantly changed the climate All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out ofthe atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust If too much carbondioxide is lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere This can cause the Earth to cool enoughfor glacial ice to spread across the land.

In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by theinput of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions Man, however, is upsetting the equation

by burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide

This energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm If the warming is significant enough,

the polar ice caps eventually melt

The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems Should the ice caps melt,

warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet.

Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainlybecause of the melting of glacial ice If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6feet by the next century This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the humanpopulation lives Delicate wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by thesea In addition, more frequent and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of thehigher seas

The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice

to crash into the ocean This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more thandouble the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space.The cycle would then be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate anotherice age

Question 21 According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following EXCEPT

A polar ice caps B sedimentary rocks C rain forests D fossil fuel

Question 22 What does the final paragraph of the passage mainly discuss?

A The relationship between the ocean and the sun

B The amount of sunlight reflected into space

C A rise in global temperatures

D The conditions that could lead to an ice age

Question 23 Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in

global sea level?

A The destruction of wetlands B The flooding of cities

C A more diverse marine population D Severe storms

Question 24 According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s

climate?

A Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt

B The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbonstored in the Earth’s crust

C Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean

D An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate

Question 25 The word "beneficial" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to

A calm B inviting C thoughtful D favorable

Question 26 The word "massive" can be replaced to

Question 27 It can be inferred from the passage that the development of agriculture

A preceded the development of animal husbandry

B withstood vast changes in the Earth’s climate

C did not take place during an ice age

D was unaffected by the greenhouse effect

Question 28 The word “this” in the third paragraph refers to

A man’s upsetting the equation

B the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide

C a volcanic eruption

D the melting of the polar ice caps

Question 29 The word “inhospitable” is closest in meaning to

A imperfect B uninhabitable C unlikable D cruel

Question 30 What is the main topic of the passage?

A The possibility that the popular ice caps will melt

B The coming of another ice age

C Man’s effect on the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere

D The climate of the Earth over the years
