attack, viruses, like the influenza virus, are living organisms themselves We may consider them regular

chemical molecules since they have strictly defined atomic structure; but on the other hand, we must

consider them as being alive since they are able to multiply in unlimited quantities

An attack brought on by the presence of the influenza virus in the body produces a temporaryimmunity, but, unfortunately, the protection is against only the type of virus that caused the influenza.Because the disease can be produced by any one of three types, referred to as A, B, or C, and manystrains within each type, immunity to one virus will not prevent infection by another type or strain.Approximately every ten years, worldwide epidemics of influenza called pandemics occur Thought

to be caused by new strains of type-A virus, these pandemic viruses have spread rapidly, inflecting

millions of people Epidemics or regional outbreaks have appeared on the average every two or threeyears or type-A virus, and every four or five years for type-B virus

The Planets of JupiterThe largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be a gaseous andfluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attainedinternal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as astar in its own right Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from theterrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium,ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form ofliquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilogramsper square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might locktogether to form a liquid with the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core

of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely offrozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle theplanet at different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as ithovers in the Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because

of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat orbeat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star like characteristic

of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease indensity with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away If Jupiter wereabout 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of theearly solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of theSolar System

29 The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _.

30 It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands circling

Jupiter is caused by _

31 The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red Spot is

_

A the only spot of its kind B not well understood

C among the largest of such spots D a problem for the planet’s continued existence

B Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets

C Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star

D Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter

33 Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3?

B To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets

C To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has

D To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off

34 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

it is estimated that they will become extinct

What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will havebeen caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not alwaysinterested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction Animals such as the Bengal

tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem.International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – andthe survival of our planet

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways.Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of

land to animals reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs ofmaintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support.This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Anotherresponse to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products madefrom endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animalsfrom being hunted and killed

55 What is the main topic of the passage?

C The Bengal tiger D International boycotts

56 The word “poachers” could be best replaced by which of the following?

A A comparison and a contrast B A problem and a solution

C A statement and an illustration D Specific and general information

A Bengal tiger B Interest in material gain

C Killing animals for personal satisfaction D The decrease in the Bengal tigerpopulation

Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguistDeborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is astereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where theyuse conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together But, she says, men talk more in publicsituations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that

we can see these differences even in children Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their playincludes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves moredoing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchersstudied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talkvery differently to their son than they do to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parentsuse more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use moredescriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,with daughters than with sons

The Planets of Jupiter

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s,contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be a gaseous and

fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained

internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as astar in its own right Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the

terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium,

ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form ofliquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilogramsper square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might locktogether to form a liquid with the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core

of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely offrozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the

planet at different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it

hovers in the Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because

of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or

beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star like characteristic

of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease indensity with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away If Jupiter wereabout 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of theearly solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of theSolar System

Question 45: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 51: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great

Red Spot is _

A the only spot of its kind B not well understood

C among the largest of such spots D a problem for the planet’s continued existence

Question 52: Paragraph 3 supports which of the following conclusions?

A Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun.

B Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets.

Question 54: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself.

B If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions.

C If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet.

D if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only

in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are theecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to theimportance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these

environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity

in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect oneafter another of Earth’s ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marineecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In mostsituations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystemsthrough other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less thantwo centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocablyredirected the course of evolution.

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions haveoccurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic

or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competitionbetween species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that havelived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined whichspecies survived and which died out

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human

species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment In fact,there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more thanthe changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually

been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs

time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time forthe proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in newenvironments

Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The variety of species found in tropical rain forests

B The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs

C The time required for species to adapt to new environments

D The impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystems

Question 56: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to

A essential B negative C complicated D interesting Question 57: The word “jolting” is closest in meaning to

A illuminating B unknown C shocking D predicted

Question 58: The author mentions the reduction of the variety of species on Earth in line

7-8 to suggest that

A humans are often made ill by polluted water

B new habitats can be created for species

C some species have been made extinct by human activity

D understanding evolution can prevent certain species from disappearing

Question 59: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans

on the world’s ecosystems EXCEPT

A damage to marine ecosystems

B habitat destruction in wetlands

C the introduction of new varieties of plant species

D destruction of the tropical rain forests

Question 60: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize that

A not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

B actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction

C Earth’s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs’extinction

D the cause of the dinosaurs’ extinction is unknown

Question 61: The word “magnitude” is closest in meaning to .

A carelessness B extent C determination D concern Question 62: According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from

changes caused by humans in that changes caused by humans

A affect fewer ecosystems B are occurring at a much faster rate

C are reversible D are less devastating to most species Question 63: Which of the following can best replace “in flux” ?

A breaking B producing C changing D increasing

Question 64: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to

agree?

B Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of

ecosystems

C Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy.

Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred

gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming

alarmingly rapid.

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of

droughts.These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse

gases,such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create agreenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on

thesubject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of

thesesummits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the

mostindustrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb

greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic

Question 45 According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differfrom the modern ones?

A They occurred naturally over a long period of time

B They were fully monitored by humans

Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term

broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of

culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and

music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and

sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural

(cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values.

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between

national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word

culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of

development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and

turns Styles change So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word

cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)

literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new formsnot everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is

no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The onlynon-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in

anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter- culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred

gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming

alarmingly rapid.

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of

droughts.These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases,such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create agreenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on

thesubject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of

thesesummits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the

mostindustrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb

greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic

C be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises

D be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature

Question 48 Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they

A are emitted by car engines B.trap heat from the sun
