these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route Line by intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals B To attract different types of ants C To protect their trail from other species D To indicate how far away the food is Question 35: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in line 11 to point out A how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail B the different types of pheromones ants can produce C a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world D that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone Question 36: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A They concentrate on the smell of food A They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail B They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line C They sense the vapor through their antennae Question 37: The word “oscillating“ is closest in meaning to A falling B depositingC swinging D starting Question 38: According to the passage, the highest amount of pheromone vapor is found A in the receptors of the ants B just above the trail C in the source of food D under the soil along the trail 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 Martin Luther King, Jf., is well- known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among which is his moving “I have a dream” speech But fewer people know much about King’s childhood M.L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather M.L.’s grandfather purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L was born His grandfather allowed the house to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks M.L grew up in the atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventfully His father was a minister and his mother was a musician He was the second of three children, and he attended all black schools in a black neighborhood The neighborhood was not poor, however Auburn Avenue was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other businesses and services Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived Dr King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a huge barrier keeping black Atlantans from mingling with whites Question 39: What is the passage mainly about?
