A They provided a break from serious news stories B They were about real-life situations C Readers could identify with the characters D Readers enjoyed the unusual drawings Question 5: Why does the author mention Joseph Pulitzer and William RandolphHearst?

A European butterfly habitats B Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions C Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region D Comparisons of behavior pattemsof butterflies and certain animal groups Question 17: Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss? A Their adaptation to different habitats B Their variety C Their physical characteristics D Their names Question 18: Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they A are found mainly in temperate climates B have been given scientific names C are viewed positively by people D are simple in structure Question 19: The idea "little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution" is that A there are many other things that we don't know about butterfly evenness distribution B we know about butterfly evenness distribution to some extent C we don't know anything about butterfly evenness distribution D we know much about butterfly evenness distribution Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the most suitable response to complete each of the following exchanges Question 20: ~ Ann: "Can I help you, madam?" ~ Bill: " " A It's very cheap B Yes, it's in our summer sale C Right It looks a bit small D No, thanks I'm just looking Question 21: ~ Theo: "Do you mind if I switch the light off?" ~ Nuttel: " " A Yes, I mind it, sorry B What if I don’t mind it?
