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.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're
not too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that
technology intersects with teen friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of teens have
made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital
friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55
percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time
with their friends on a daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of
communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day – 27 percent of teens instant
message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7
percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication – almost
half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest
friend.

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.
Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through
ordinary or “background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by
more adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in
relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each provoked
by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space
junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is
currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our
assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to
bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In
Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species. Such carnage has taken
place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans. While many species were
hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the “introduced predators” that humans
brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat.

A. Human activity makes a mass extinction. B. The two ways in which species disappear.
C. The tempo of extinction of species today. D. Deforestation as a major cause of
extinctions.

35: What was the main threat to biodiversity in Hawaii and other islands until recently?
A. tools used by human beings
B. human assault on ecosystems
C. vulnerable rich ecosystems
D. hunters and introduced predators
36: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. species
B. oceans
C. predators
D. humans
