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

Bees, classified into over 10.000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except

the northernmost and southernmost regions One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other

products, and they use the honey as a food While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they

make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land Many fruits and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom

Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage

space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to the hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs

All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death

A The Many Species of Bees

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 atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different from the air we breathe today Earth's first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was most likely hydrogen and helium - the two most abundant gasses found in the universe - as well as hydrogen compounds such as methane and ammonia Most scientists feel that this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth's hot surface

A second, more dense atmosphere, however, gradually enveloped the Earth as gasses from molten

rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents We assume that volcanoes

spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostly water vapor (about 80 percent), carbon

dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few percent nitrogen These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere

As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hot interior - known as

outgassing - provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formed into clouds Rain fell upon Earth for

many thousands of years, forming the rivers, lakes, and oceans of the world During this time, large amounts of carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbon dioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone With

much of the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxide

dwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich in nitrogen

It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today's atmosphere, probably began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the Sun split water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photo dissociation The hydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remained in the atmosphere

This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive plants to evolve,

perhaps two to three billion years ago Or the plants may have evolved in an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment At any rate, plant growth greatly enriched our atmosphere with oxygen The

reason for this enrichment is that plants, in the presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide and water

to produce oxygen

Question 24: What is the main idea of the passage?

B The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time

C Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere

A accidentally B by degrees C in the end D quickly

Question 29: The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because _

A it was heavier than hydrogen

B rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen

C hydrogen became trapped in limestone

D it was caused by outgassing

A provide unrelated information B suggest an alternative

C criticize the previous suggestion D propose a similar idea
