Question 51-60: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions below. Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth’s ecosystems In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction In most situations, the result is irreversible Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth’s history when mass extinctions have occurred The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out

agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments

Question 51: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The variety of species found in tropical rain forests B The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs

C The time required for species to adapt to new environments D The impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystems Question 52: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to

A essential B negative C complicated D interesting Question 53: The word “jolting” is closest in meaning to

A illuminating B unknown C shocking D predicted

Question 54: The author mentions the reduction of the variety of species on Earth in line 7-8 to suggest that

A humans are often made ill by polluted water B new habitats can be created for species

C some species have been made extinct by human activity

D understanding evolution can prevent certain species from disappearing

Question 55: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world’s ecosystems EXCEPT

A damage to marine ecosystems B habitat destruction in wetlands

C the introduction of new varieties of plant species D destruction of the tropical rain forests

Question 56: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize

that

A not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

B actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction C Earth’s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs’extinction

D the cause of the dinosaurs’ extinction is unknown

Question 57: The word “magnitude” is closest in meaning to .

A carelessness B extent C determination D concern

Question 58: According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from changes caused by humans in that changes caused by humans

A affect fewer ecosystems B are occurring at a much faster rate C are reversible D are less devastating to most species Question 59: Which of the following can best replace “in flux” ?

A breaking B producing C changing D increasing

Question 60: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress.

B Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems. C Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy. D Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems.

Question 61-70: Read the following passage and choose the best option to complete the blank or answer the question.

concerned There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3°-less than that for any other planet

The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot It has shown variations in both intensity and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude Over the past century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200° The latitude is generally very close to -22° It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology Its longevity may well due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted
