Part IV. Reading Comprehension Choose the best answer to each question based on the information which is stated or implied in the text. Scientists estimate that about 35,000 other objects, too small to detect with radar but detectable with powerful Earth-based telescopes, are also circling the Earth at an altitude of 200 to 700 miles. This debris poses little danger to us on the Earth, but since it is traveling at average relative speeds of six miles per second, it can severely damage expensive equipment in a collision. This threat was dramatized by a cavity one-eighth of an inch in diameter created in a window of a United States space shuttle in 1983. The pit was determined to have been caused by a collision with a speck of paint traveling at a speed of about two to four miles per second. The window had to be replaced. As more and more nations put satellites into space, the risk of collision can only increase. Measures are already being taken to control the growth of orbital debris. The United States has always required its astronauts to bag their wastes and return them to Earth. The United States Air Force has agreed to conduct lowaltitude rather than high-altitude tests of objects it puts into space so debris from tests will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up. Extra shielding will also reduce the risk of damage. For example, 2,000 pounds of additional shielding is being considered for each of six space-station crew modules. Further, the European Space Agency, an international consortium is also looking into preventive measures. 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Problem of Space Debris B. The Space Shuttle of 1983 C. The Work of the European Space Agency D. A Collision in Space 2. It can be inferred from the passage that, debris was harmful to one of the space shuttles because the debris was A. large B. moving very fast C. radioactive D. burning uncontrollably 3. What effect did orbital debris have on one of the space shuttles? A. It removed some of the paint B. It damaged one of the windows 15
C. It caused a loss of altitude D. It led to a collision with a space station 4. The word 'them’ in line 11 refers to which of the following? A. Astronauts B. Wastes C. Tests D. Crew modules 5. Which of the following questions is NOT answered by the information in the passage? A. How can small objects orbiting the Earth be seen? B. What is being done to prevent orbital debris from increasing? C. Why is the risk of damage to space equipment likely to increase? D. When did the United States Air Force begin making tests in space?
Scattered through the seas of the world are billions of tons of small plants and animals called plankton. Most of these plants and animals are too small for the human eye to see. They drift about lazily with the currents, providing a basic food for many larger animals. Plankton has been described as the equivalent of the grasses that grow on the dry land continents, and the comparison is an appropriate one. In potential food value, however, plankton far outweighs that of the land grasses. One scientist has estimated that white grasses of the world produce about 49 billion tons of valuable carbohydrates each year, the sea's plankton generates more than twice as much. Despite its enormous food potential, little effort was made until recently to farm plankton as we farm grasses on land. Now. marine scientists have at last begun to study this possibility, especially as the sea's resources loom even more important as a means of feeding an expanding world population. No one yet has seriously suggested that "planktonburgers" may soon become popular around the world. As a possible farmed supplementary food source, however, plankton is gaining considerable interest among marine scientists. One type of plankton that seems to have great harvest possibilities is a tiny shrimplike creature called krill. Growing to two or three inches long. krill provide the major food for the giant blue whale, the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth. Realizing that this whale may grow to 100 feet and weigh 150 tons at maturity, it is not surprising that each one devours more than one ton of krill daily. 16
Krill swim about just below the surface in huge schools sometimes miles wide, mainly in the cold Antarctic. Because of their pink color, they often appear as a solid reddish mass when viewed from a ship or from the air. Krill are very high in food value. A pound of these crustaceans contains about 460 calories-about the same as shrimp or lobster to which they are related. If the krill can feed such huge creatures as whales, many scientists reason, they must certainly be contenders as a new food source for humans. 6. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage? A. The author presents the advantages and disadvantages of plankton as a food source. B. The author quotes public opinion to support the argument for farming plankton. C. The author classifies the different food sources according to amount of carbohydrate. D. The author makes a general statement about plankton as a food source and then moves to a specific example. 7. According to the passage, why is plankton considered to be more valuable than land grasses? A. It is easier to cultivate B. It produces more carbohydrates C. It does not require soil D. It is more palatable 8. Why does the author mention "planktonburgers" in line 13? A. To describe the appearance of one type of plankton B. To illustrate how much plankton a whale consumes C. To suggest plankton as a possible food source D. To compare the food values of beef and plankton 9. Blue whales have been known to weigh how much at maturity? A. One ton B. Forty tons C. One hundred and fifty tons D. Four hundred and sixty tons 10. What is mentioned as one distinguishing feature of krill? A. They are the smallest marine animals. B. They are pink in color. C. They are similar in size to lobsters. D. They have grass-like bodies.

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbishing older buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardell Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960's, but it was in the 197U S, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hal' and the Quincy Market. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking. Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights. San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers. San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which meanders through the business district. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. During the 1970's, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use. B. Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers. C. The San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight urban decay. D. Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in 12. What is the space at Quincy Market now used for? A. Boston's new city hall B. Sports and recreational facilities C. Commercial and industrial warehouses D. Restaurants, offices, and stores 13. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer for a project in A. San Francisco B. Boston C. Minneapolis D. San Antonio 18
14. When was the Butler Square building originally built? A. In the eighteenth century B. In the early nineteenth century C. In the late nineteenth century D. In the early twentieth century 15. What is the author's opinion of the San Antonio project? A. It is clearly the best of the projects discussed. B. It is a good project that could be copied in other cities. C. The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly. D. The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.
The classic Neanderthals, who lived between about 70,000 and 30,000 years ago, shared a number of special characteristics. Like any biological population, Neanderthals also showed variation in the degree to which those characteristics were expressed. Generally, they were powerfully built, short and stocky, with the lower parts of their arms and legs short in relation to the upper parts, as in modern peoples who live in cold environments. Neanderthal skulls were distinctive, housing brains even larger on average than those of modem humans, a feature that may have had more to do with their large, heavy bodies than with superior intelligence. Seen from behind, Neanderthal skulls look almost spherical, but from the side they are long and flattened often with a bulging back. The Neanderthal face, dominated by a projecting and full nose, differed clearly from the faces of other hominids; the middle parts appear to be pulled forward (or the sides pulled back), resulting in a rather streamlined face shape. This peculiarity may have been related to the greater importance (in cultural activities as well as food processing) of the front teeth, which are large and part of a row of teeth that lies well forward in the head; it may reflect a reduction in importance of certain jaw muscles operating at the sides of the face; or it may reflect an adaptation to cold. Whether it results from any or all of these three factors or from other, undiscovered causes, this midfacial projection is so characteristic that it unfailingly identifies a Neanderthal to the trained eye. Neanderthal teeth are much more difficult to characterize; the front teeth are large, with strong roots, but the back teeth may be relatively small. This feature may have been an adaptation to cope with heavy tooth wear 19
16. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The eating habits of the Neanderthals B. A comparison of various prehistoric populations C. The physical characteristics of the Neanderthals D. The effect of climate on human development 17. The author describes the Neanderthal as being all of the following EXCEPT A. short B. swift C. strong D. stocky 18. Which of the following most likely accounts for the fact that the Neanderthal brain was larger than that of the modern human? A. The relatively large size of the Neanderthal's body B. The superior intelligence of the Neanderthal. C. The swelling behind the Neanderthal's head D. The Neanderthal's midfacial projection 19. Where in the passage does the author specifically stress the contrast between the Neanderthal face and that of other biologically related populations? A. Lines 1-4 B. Lines 7-9 C. Lines 10-11 D. Lines 18-20 20. Which of the following explanations is NOT cited as a possible explanation of the Neanderthal’s streamlined face shape? A. Some jaw muscles had limited use. B. The facial features were well adapted to the cold. C. The front teeth were particularly important. D. The nose was set far back 21. The phrase "the trained eye" in line 18 most likely refers to which of the following professionals? A. An optometrist B. A dentist C. An anthropologist D. A photographer 22. In line 20, the author uses the expression "heavy tooth wear" to imply that the Neanderthals 20

had unusually heavy teeth used their teeth extensively regularly pulled out their teeth used teeth for ornamentation There are two ways to create colors in a photograph. One method, called additives, starts with three basic colors and adds them together to produce some other color. The second method, called subtractive, starts with white light (a mixture of all colors in the spectrum) and, by taking away some or all other colors, leaves the one desired. In the additive method, separate colored lights combine to produce various other colors The three additive primary colors are green, red, and blue (each providing about one - third of the wavelengths in the total spectrum). Mixed in varying proportions, they can produce all colors. Green and red light mix to produce yellow: red and blue light mix to produ9e magenta; green and blue mix to produce cyan. When equal parts of all three of these primary - colored beams of light overlap, the mixture appears white to the eye. In the subtractive process, colors are produced when dye (as in paint or color photographic materials) absorbs some wavelengths and so passes on only part of the spectrum. The subtractive primaries are cyan (a bluish green), magenta (a purplish pink), and yellow; these are the pigments or dyes that absorb red, green, and blue wavelengths, respectively, thus subtracting them from white light, These dye colors are the complementary colors to the three additive primaries of red, green, and blue. Properly combined, the subtractive primaries can absorb all colors of light, producing black. But, mixed in varying proportions, they too can produce any color in the spectrum. Whether a particular color is obtained by adding colored lights together or by subtracting some light from the total spectrum, the result looks the same to the eye. The additive process was employed for early color photography. But the subtractive method, while requiring complex chemical techniques, has turned out to be more practical and is the basis of all modern color films.

Both Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams admired Catharine Macaulay, the radical author of A History of England (1763), who supported the cause of the American patriots. Under Macaulay's influence Mercy Warren conceived her plan to write a history of the American Revolution, living to complete it in 1805. Abigail Adams rejected literary ambitions for herself and never lost her sense of inferiority about her poor spelling and ignorance of Latin. Yet her letters, rather than Warren's plays and verse, have become the greater source in documenting signs of a dawning feminist consciousness. Abigail Adams welcomed every advance for women and foresaw more than could be realized in her lifetime. She urged her husband, the second President of the United States, to "remember the ladies" in the new code of laws, and to give married women protection from tyrannical husbands. As she pointed out the terrible deficiencies in education for women at all levels, she finally made the significant request to her husband, that the new constitution "be distinguished for Learning and Virtue," and suggested that "if we mean to have Heroes. Statesmen and Philosophers, we should have learned women." This awareness of education's value, rooted in the Enlightenment faith in human potentiality, had feminist implications before there was a feminist ideology. A younger contemporary of similar background gave the reading public an explicit feminist argument for the education of women. The views of Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820) reflected both personal and family experience. Murray's Cleaner essays published in the 1790's transcended the boundaries of her world in recognizing the need for training women to earn their own living. Although, like Mercy Warren and Abigail Adams, she was brought up with the values of gentility, she knew through personal hardship that even women of her class might be forced to be self - supporting: education could provide independence for women in need, whether they were unmarried women or widows or wives. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. Abigail Adams' life B. Women historians C. Early sources of feminist thinking D. The literary ambitions of Judith Sargent Murray 32. What does the author mean by the statement that Abigail Adams "foresaw more than could be realized in her lifetime" (lines 8~9)? A. No progress was made during her life. B. She made predictions that eventually came true. C. Her life was very short. D. She didn't want to become a public figure.

Where in the passage does the author mention Abigail Adams' position regarding education for women? A. Lines 1-2 B. Lines 4-5 C. Lines 11 - 14 D. Lines 21-24 35. What did Mercy Warren, Abigail Adams, and Judith Sargeant Murray have in common. A. They all wrote books. B. They were all responsible for the financial support of their families. C. They were all interested in women's accomplishments. D. They al had influential families.
Some cacti, like the saguaro, grow to tree size, but true trees need more moisture than most desert environments can supply, so they are scarce on deserts. Close to streambeds, cottonwoods can sometimes be found. Though these streams are dry most of the year, water flows there longest and is usually available fairly close to the surface. Elsewhere, trees must send taproots deep into the hard-baked desert soil to draw on underground water. Perhaps the most widespread family of trees on the world's deserts is the acacia, whose taproots drill down as far as 25 feet (7.5 meters). The mesquite, common on North American deserts in both tree and shrub forms, does not begin to grow above ground until its root system is completely developed, ensuring the plant a supply of moisture. The roots of shrubs and trees help to hold the desert soil in place. Their stalks and branches also act as screens to keep the wind from sweeping great drifts of sand along the surface. These services are vital if a desert is to support life. Scientists estimate that a desert needs year - round plant cover over 20 to 40 percent of its surface. If shrubs are too far apart-separated by a distance greater than five times their height-soil around them is likely to blow away. Without the shelter of established shrubs, new seedlings will have difficulty getting a start. On the other hand, plants that are too close together may compete for underground moisture. To protect themselves from this competition, some shrubs give off a substance that kills young plants that sprout too close to them. 24
In addition to a few varieties of trees and tough shrubs, most deserts have grasses, herbs, and other annual plants. These do not compete for moisture with the longer - lived growth. They spring up quickly after rains, when the surface is moist. Then, for a brief time, the desert can be literally carpeted with color. Almost as quickly as they appeared, these small plants die away. But they have developed special ways of ensuring the life of another generation when rains come again. 36.
