VIII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
Write your answers in the numbered blanks box. (1 points)
Water, one of the two elements that are essential to life, covers 90 percent of the earth's
surface. However, despite appearances, water that is drinkable is rare on our planet. In the
past, we have considered air and water to be free; but we cannot do so any more. Although
we have oceans, seas, rivers, and glaciers, we need to protect our drinking supplies. As
global warming increase, ice floes melt into the oceans. The deserts are increasing in size as
they encroach upon and absorb arable land. Drought and scarcity of water are an increasing
feature of our everyday lives.
A good example of our problems is California. It has a reputation as a fertile state.
Nevertheless, for years it has been short of water, and, since the 1980s, has been suffering
from prolonged drought. Florida, too, has water problems and is trying to stop salt water
from seeping into its underground reserves. Floods occur regularly but do not provide

enough water to compensate for periods of drought. Both the bloods and the drought
demonstrate that we lack control and that we are unable to manage this primary resource.
56. According to this article, what are the two “elements” that are essential to life?
A. Water and milk
B. Rice and water
C. Water and air
D. Fire and water
57. Which of the following words is a synonym of “free” in the first paragraph?
A. Easy

B. A glacier
C. A village
D. A state
59. Which of the following is NOT a synonym of “demonstrate” in the last sentence?

B. Show
C. Give evidence of
D. March
60. What does “it” in the first line of second paragraph refer to?

IX. Read the following passage and choose the best answer. Write your answers in the
numbered blanks provided below the passage. (2 points)
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old
ones were reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was
brought by Dutch settlers to New York in the early 18 th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white
horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by
Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he eventually
developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint
Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa's transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the
poem A Visit from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his
daughter. The poem introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over
housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American
illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second half of the 19 th
century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and
delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19 th century he had become such a prominent
figure of American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the New York
Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is
a Santa Claus”.

II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer. (10 points)
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.
