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 from 36 to 42
Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty-eight days of age They are taught to enter the loft through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft, and gradually they are taken away for short distances in wicker baskets and released They are then expected to find their way home in the shortest possible time
In their training flights or in actual races, the birds are taken to prearranged distant points and released to find their way back to their own lofts Once the birds are liberated, their owners, who are standing by at the home lofts, anxiously watch the
sky for the return of their entries Since time is of the essence, the speed with which
the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place
The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small, but its brain is one quarter larger than that of the ordinary pigeon The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm
Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form of built-in radar that helps it find its own loft after hours of flight, for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears, while the sharp, prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime
Why homing pigeons fly home? They are not unique in this inherent skill: it is found in most migratory birds, in bees, ants, toads, and even turtles, which have been known to travel hundreds of miles to return to their homes But in the animal world, the homing pigeon alone can be trusted with its freedom and trained to carry out the missions that people demand
Question 36: What is the purpose of the passage?
A To convince the reader to buy a homing pigeon
(6)Question 37: According to the passage, what happens to homing pigeons when they are about a month old?
A They are kept in a trap B They enter their first race
C They begin a training program D They get their wings clipped and marked
Question 38: In line 7, when the author states that the owners "anxiously watch the sky" there is the implication that the owners
A want their pigeon to win the race
B are sending radar signals to their pigeons C not know whether the race began on time D not trust the rules set down by the judges
Question 39: According to the passage, what is the difference between a homing pigeon
and an ordinary one?
A The span of the wings B The shape of the eyes C The texture of the feathers D The size of the brain
Question 40: The author mentions all of the following at tributes that enable a homing pigeon to return home EXCEPT
A instinct B air sacs C sensitive ears D good eyes
Question 41: In line 12, the pronoun "it" refers to which of the following?
A Radar B Bird C Loft D Form
Question 42: Why does the author mention bees, ants, toads, and turtles in the last paragraph?
A To describe some unusual kinds of pets
B To measure distances traveled by various animals
C To compare their home-finding abilities with those of homing pigeons
D To interest the reader in learning about other animals
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 from 43 to 50
(7)The opposite of evaporation is precipitation such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff
Normally in tropical regions where the Sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water
In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The bodies of water of the world B The elements of salt
C The many forms of ocean life D The salinity of ocean water
Question 44: According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in
A coastal areas B tropical areas C rainy areas D turbulent areas
Question 45: All of the following are processes that decrease salinity EXCEPT
A evaporation B precipitation C runoff D melting
Question 46: Which of the following statements about the salinity of a body of water can best be inferred from the passage?
A The temperature of the water is the most important factor
B How quickly the water moves is directly related to the amount of alt C Ocean salinity has little effect on sea life
D Various factors combine to cause variations in the salt content of water Question 47: The word "it" in line 16 refers to which of the following?
A Sea ice B Salinity C Seawater D Manner
(8)A To show that this body of water has salinity variations B To compare Antarctic waters with Arctic waters C To give an example of cold-water salinity D To point out the location of deep waters
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT a result of the formation of ocean ice?
A The salt remains in the water B The surrounding water sinks
C Water salinity decreases D The water becomes denser
Question 50: What can be inferred about the water near the bottom of oceans?
A It is relatively warm B Its salinity is relatively high C It does not move D It is formed by melting sea ice
