growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a (42) ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human wellbeing Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats Relatively little has been said, however, about the diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are (43) to rain forests in terms of richness of life An alien exploring Earth would probably give (44) to the planet’s dominant, most-distinctive feature – the ocean Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface Given that two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and (45) more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the (46) of the species One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup (47) them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is (48) the sea Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there To appreciate (49) the diversity of abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted

fungi D larvae GUIDED CLOZE (5PTS): Read the text below and decide which answer best fits each space LOOKING INTO SPACE Outer space has (51) mankind ever since we first gazed upward It was easy enough to see stars in the night sky (52) the naked eyes and many (53) civilizations also noticed that certain groups appeared to form familiar shapes They used these constellations to help with navigation and as a means of predicting the seasons and making calendars Ancient astronomers also perceived points of light that moved They believed they were wandering stars and the word “planet” was (54) from the Greek word for “wanderers” For much of human history, it was also believed that the Earth was the center of the Universe and that the planets circled the Earth, and that falling meteorites and solar eclipses were (55) of disaster It wasn’t until the 16th century that Polish mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus presented a mathematical model of how the sun actually moved around the Earth, challenging the (56) understanding of how the solar system worked The Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei then used a telescope to prove this theory to be correct Many technological advances have allowed us to probe (57) space since then, and one of the most pioneering was when the first manned spacecraft, the Apollo 11, successfully (58) gravity and touched down on the moon’s surface Nevertheless, much of our research must be done from far greater distances The Hubble Space Telescope was carried into orbit by a space shuttle in April 1990 and it has allowed cosmologists to gather incredible data Most (59) , it has provided a great deal of evidence to support the Big Bang Theory, that is, the idea that the Universe originated as a hot, (60) state at a

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out; that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that species are becoming extinct in vast numbers, and that the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so, since the book "The Limits to Growth" was published in 1972 by a group of scientists Second, more food is now produced per head of the world's population than at any time in history Fewer people are starving Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25-50%, as has so often been predicted And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been exaggerated, or are transient - associated with the early phases of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by accelerating it One form of pollution - the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to pose a devastating problem A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and four factors seem to cause this disjunction between perception and reality One is the lopsidedness built into scientific research Scientific funding goes mainly to areas with many problems That may be wise policy, but it will also create an impression that many more potential problems exist than is the case Secondly, environmental groups need to be noticed by the mass media They also need to keep the money rolling in Understandingly, perhaps, they sometimes overstate their arguments In 1997, for example, the Worldwide Fund for Nature issued a Press release entitled: "Two thirds of the world's forests lost forever" The truth turns out to be nearer 20% Though these groups are run overwhelmingly by selfless folk, they nevertheless share many of the characteristics of other lobby groups That would matter less if people applied the same degree of skepticism to environmental lobbying as they to lobby groups in other fields A trade organization arguing for, say, weaker pollution controls is instantly seen as self-interested Yet a green organization opposing such a weakening is seen as altruistic, even if an impartial view of the controls in question might suggest they are doing more harm than good A third source of confusion is the attitude of the media People are clearly more curious about bad news than good Newspapers and broadcasters are there to provide what the public wants That, however, can lead to significant distortions of perception An example was America's encounter with El Nino in 1997 and 1998 This climatic phenomenon was accused of wrecking tourism, causing allergies, melting the ski-slopes and causing 22 deaths However, according to an article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, the damage it did was estimated at US$4 billion but the benefits amounted to some US$ 19 billion These came from higher winter temperatures 10 B he was nearly at the age at which it is expected that a cyclist should win C he was of a mature age for a cyclist and had few years left in the sport D he was beginning to figure as a real contender in his sport 72 Which of the following statements is true about the cancer Armstrong had? A he recovered remarkably quickly from it, suffering little B It started in the lungs and spread to the brain C doctors were optimistic about his chances of survival D the generally held view was that it would prevent him from cycling professionally every again 73 Why does the writer say, “Except Armstrong had other ideas,” at the end of the third paragraph? A Armstrong was determined to play some role in the Tour de France again B Armstrong’s idea of victory had changed since he’d had cancer C Armstrong was determined to defy the odds and become a real contender in the Tour de France D Armstrong didn’t want to race for victory, he just wanted to represent cancer victims 74 What does the writer compare Armstrong’s Tour de France campaign struggle each year after his return to the sport with? A the general fight against cancer C his fundraising for cancer personal cancer experience B a cancer organization D Armstrong’s own 75 What is one of the ways in which his story became about more than just cycling? A his published biography became a source of inspiration for cancer sufferers B cycling through a tunnel was like fighting cancer 16 C he gave people hope that they could one day be professional athletes, too D he gave people the belief to fight the disease that is drug-taking in sport 76 What can be inferred about the rumours of Armstrong’s drug-taking? A they were disproved in a state court ease B they have not caused Armstrong’s reputation and record any charm C they were eventually proved true beyond doubt D he had, but passed up, an opportunity to disprove them 77 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “defiant”? A surprising impulsive B unyielding C emotional D 78 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “sanguinity”? A cheerfulness perseverance B persistence C sympathy D 79 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “official”?

OPEN CLOZE (10PTS) The point at which physical decline with age begins adversely to affect a driver’ capability has not yet been thoroughly studied A survey of more than 3,000 road accidents in Michigan (11) drivers aged over 55 showed that in eight out of ten cases, (12) was a driver over the age of 71 who had caused collision by failing to yield, turning carelessly (13) changing lanes 18 Older drivers are obviously more susceptible (14) injury in vehicle crashes, as well as being a potential higher risk through their own (15) behavior Reactions time in an emergency involves many different physical factors such as the production of the (16) impulse, perception of the signal, choice of response and transmission to the muscles Some of these deteriorate more than others with age, but the overall effect increases the time it takes to respond for more (17) drivers Part of the aging (18) , however, does include the storage of experience, often in the subconscious, (19) triggers earlier danger warnings than in younger drivers who have not experienced similar situations This maturity of judgment heightens the perception of risk and often (20) older drivers to avoid a situation

is cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if the geographical size is proportional for population Following the proportional outlay, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world’s population density, each country’s birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national products in terms of per capital income,
