Uncompromising as it is, the dessert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist- skinned, water – loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found: the giants of the North America desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift – footed, running, and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its populations are largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere in the world

The secret of their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun – baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 6: What is the topic of the passage?

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

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the

characteristic foods they consume

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful

The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows

Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for

financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue

A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge

Question 31: How has science done to disservice to people?

A As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food

B The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetable C It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

D Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated Question 32: The word “prone” is nearest meaning to _

B unlikely C supine D predisposed

Question 33: The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to _ A trouble-making

B money-making C cancer-causing D colorretaining

Question 34: What are nitrates used for? A They preserve the color of meat B They preserve flavor in package food C There are objects of research

D They cause the animals become fatter Question 35: FDA means A Federal Dairy Additives

B Food and Drug Administration C Final Difficult Analysis

D Food Direct Additives

Question 36: All of the following statements are TRUE except A Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons B Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world

C Researchers have known about the potential hazard of food additives for more than 45 years

D Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

Question 37: What is best title for this passage? A The food you eat can affect your health B Harmful and Harmless substances in food C Avoiding injurious substances in food D Improving health through a Natural Diet

Question 38: The word “fit” could be best replaced by which of the following? A suitable

The contest was the creation of music teacher Mr Lopez and drama teacher Ms Cho The two thought of the idea while discussing recent years’ school picnics “The picnic is one of the biggest events of the year, but it has become a bit formulaic,” said Ms Cho “The activities are the same every year We thought that a performance by a student band would make the school picnic more interesting and fun.” Mr Lopez, Ms Cho, and three other teachers judged the contest, which took place in the gym Eight student bands signed up to audition The bands varied in their musical forms: there were several rock bands, a folk band, and even a jazz band “I’m disappointed that my band didn’t win, but I think the judges made the right choice,” says student Marisol Varga, a member of the folk trio called The Bell Girls “Four Square is really good.”

To see if the bands could present a wide range of musical skills, the teachers asked them each to prepare two songs: one song with original words, and another in which students played instrumental music only The judges finally chose the band Four Square as the winner of the contest Four Square is a rock band with an unusual twist: it includes a violin player!

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people These writers are not paid and their names are not published They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge

Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general

invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time

But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the articles, and so he began by hiring experts He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time to finish their work He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online To this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or expand it This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes

Question 36: Wikipedia is written by _ A paid written

B millionaires C normal people D world experts

Question 37: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to _ A ordinary readers

B ordinary people C encyclopedia experts D every subject
