IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as
the bees have made their way from South America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely
aggressive in nature, although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated.
The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the
considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was
imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression
was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European counterparts in
that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in
inclement weather than did the European bees.
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have
occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not
at all as aggressive as the pure African bee. They also point out that the attacks have a chemical
cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature. However,
after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the
vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that
attracts other bees. As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to
panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new stings create more of the
chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of the victim.
Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the
production of isoamyl acetate.
Question 28. The subject of the paragraph before paragraph 1 was mostly likely_________.
A. the creation of the killer bee
B. the chemical nature of killer bees attacks
C. stories in the media about killer bees D. ways of producing honey
