Cuckoo birds‚ which surreptitiously place their eggs into the nests of other bird

species‚ are a good example. Superb fairywrens‚ a common host for cuckoo eggs‚

have a unique defense against this parasitism. After laying eggs‚ the mother wren
e
repeatedly sings to them. When the chicks hatch‚ the mother can recognize them as
p l
her own by their ability to reproduce her song. As cuckoo eggs are placed in the nest
just before they hatch‚ cuckoo chicks produce their own tunes‚ which exposes them as
m
intruders to be deprived of food and care. In effect‚ mother wrens ensure the survival
a
of their offspring by ____________________________________________.

14. The practice of playing pranks on April Fool’s Day has a long history in Europe.
According to one theory‚ the celebration started with the introduction of the
Gregorian calendar‚ which moved New Year’s Day from April 1 to January 1. News
traveled slowly in those days‚ so many people did not learn of the new calendar for
several years. Even then‚ some stubborn people refused to accept the new calendar
and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1. These backward folk were
labeled “fools” by the majority and made the butt of practical jokes.
Q: What is the passage mainly about?
(a) Reasons for moving New Year’s Day

(b) The possible origin of April Fool’s Day
(c) The addition of April Fool’s Day to the calendar
(d) Consequences of adopting the Gregorian calendar

types of fish and have been linked to reductions in depression‚ hypertension‚ and
even cancer. Unfortunately‚ it remains to be seen whether fish oil supplements are
an effective way of obtaining omega3 fatty acids. Many of the claims regarding
these acids are derived from research on consumption of fish rather than fish oil
supplements. In a few cases‚ these supplements have been found to offer no benefit
whatsoever. Until the research is clearer‚ people are advised to rely on supplements
only as a last resort.
Q: What is the best title for the passage?
(a) Omega3 Fatty Acids Missing from Fish Oil

(b) Fish Oil Supplement Claims Require Caution
t
(c) The Dangerous Truth about Fish Oil Supplements

(d) Fish Oil Supplements: a Useful Replacement for Fish

16. The English cleric and scholar Thomas Malthus published his treatise An Essay on the
l
Principle of Population in 1798. At the time‚ a popular view was that the rapid social
p
progress of recent years would continue until an ideal society was created. In
m
defiance of this utopian outlook‚ Malthus argued that social progress would face
a
serious obstacles. Specifically‚ he believed that population growth could strain the
S
world’s resources‚ resulting in drastically reduced living standards.
P S
Q: What is the main topic of the passage?
T E
(a) Malthus’s criticism of the utopian view of social progress
(b) Malthus’s analysis of unrestrained natural resource usage
(c) Malthus’s advice for averting a decline in living standards
(d) Malthus’s warnings about the consequences of utopianism

19. Quicksand is an unusual substance composed of a mixture of water and fine grains
such as sand or clay. Although it appears relatively firm and gellike‚ it rapidly
converts into a less viscous form when disturbed. This change occurs because
disturbances cause the water and granular portions of the quicksand to separate. A
person attempting to walk on quicksand can begin to sink‚ but because quicksand is
about twice as dense as the human body‚ sinking any further than the waist is highly
unlikely. To free oneself from quicksand‚ one should press down slowly and firmly
to increase the mixture’s viscosity.
Q: Which of the following is correct according to the passage?
(a) The viscosity of quicksand is increased by disturbances.

(b) Disturbing quicksand causes its water and grains to merge.
(c) The human body has roughly twice the density of quicksand.
t
(d) Increasing the viscosity of quicksand can help people escape it.

21. The Children’s Television Act‚ passed in 1990‚ regulated the amount of
programming for children under 13. Designed to improve children’s television‚ the
law mandated that each station air three hours of educational programming per
week. Unfortunately‚ the law had some unintended negative results. Because of its
broad definition of educational content‚ stations aired content that was not truly
educational. Consequently‚ the percentage of highquality educational programming
dropped from 43% to 29% in eight years. Furthermore‚ the law resulted in local
stations syndicating programming from larger stations to save on production costs.
Overall‚ this move resulted in less diverse and exceptional educational
programming.
Q: What did the Children’s Television Act require TV stations to do?
(a) Offer viewers a wider selection of local content
t
(b) Standardize their programming through syndication
(c) Adhere to a restrictive definition of educational content

(d) Provide specific amounts of time for children’s programming

22. Smallpox is the only infectious disease that has been completely wiped out through
human eradication efforts. Although a vaccination had existed since the eighteenth
a m
century‚ the disease remained rampant well into the twentieth century. In the 1950s‚
S
the international community undertook a major eradication campaign. Their
strategy was ring vaccination: infected individuals were isolated‚ and everyone
S
nearby was vaccinated. Because humans are the disease’s only carriers‚ this strategy
E P
was effective. The last natural case of the Variola major variety occurred in
T
Bangladesh in 1975‚ whereas the last case of the less deadly Variola minor variety was
in Somalia in 1977. Remaining smallpox samples were ordered to be destroyed‚ but
they were ultimately kept for research purposes.
Q: Which of the following is correct about smallpox?
(a) It was eradicated by a vaccine dubbed the “ring vaccination.”

(b) Its transmission occurs exclusively between humans.
(c) Its more dangerous form was the last to be eradicated.
(d) It was not preserved even in sample form.

they seemed surprised that we’d taken it seriously. It wasn’t long before my mother
inlaw began emailing us listings for cheaper apartments in our area. It was as if the
idea of living together had never been mentioned.

25. Although pistachio seeds are generally safe to consume‚ they can become
contaminated by hazardous aflatoxins. As they are growing‚ pistachios are enclosed
in hard shells that shield them from external impurities. However‚ these shells
naturally split open as the seeds ripen‚ leaving nothing but a thin hull to block
contaminants. If the seeds are harvested or stored carelessly‚ their defenses can
become compromised. In these cases‚ pistachios are especially vulnerable to
Aspergillus molds‚ which release aflatoxins. Although harvests with low levels of
contamination can be treated for safety‚ those with more severe contamination may
need to be destroyed.
Q: What can be inferred from the passage?
(a) Pistachios with split shells should never be consumed.

(b) Intact hulls mitigate the risk of Aspergillus mold infection.
t
(c) Infected pistachios quickly develop deadly levels of aflatoxins.
(d) Molds containing aflatoxins gradually destroy pistachio shells.

Trailblazer: Jeannette Rankin
The first woman elected to the US Congress‚ Jeannette Rankin‚ came from
humble beginnings. Born in rural Montana to a schoolteacher and her
rancher husband‚ she initially followed in her mother’s footsteps before
deciding on a career in politics. Women could not yet run for political office
across most of the nation‚ but Rankin’s state was one of the first to allow
women both to vote and to be on the ballot for federal office.
Rankin won a seat in Congress in 1916 and went to Washington‚ where she
joined in the successful fight for the 19th Amendment‚ which granted
women nationwide the right to vote. As a pacifist‚ Rankin refused to
support World War I‚ which caused her to lose her next congressional race.
However‚ she was elected to office again in 1940‚ due to her opposition to
t
US entry into World War II. Public opinion shifted after Pearl Harbor was
s
attacked the following year‚ but Rankin stuck to her principles. As a result‚
e
she once more lost her congressional seat‚ and her political career
T
effectively ended.

(c) She changed her stance on WWII after the Pearl Harbor attack.

In this digital age‚ online media companies have come to believe that more
engagement is better. Whenever they post photos‚ videos‚ or articles‚ they
can quickly assess how popular these are based on likes‚ comments‚ and
shares. User engagement gives online media quantifiable evidence that
their writers’ work is reaching audiences. What is more‚ it helps them
foster a relationship with audiences‚ which sustains higher viewer
numbers. As these websites often rely on advertising revenue‚ they have
an obvious incentive to attempt to promote user engagement.
However‚ the push for greater user engagement has also come at a cost. In
the past‚ newspapers or magazines relied on the overall quality of their
work to attract subscribers. Since shifting online‚ they have gained the
ability to judge each post individually based on the number of likes and
shares it receives. As a result‚ online media are increasingly observing what
types of content attract the most clicks and tend to reproduce these
t
endlessly. In the process‚ informative articles have given way to attention
s
grabbing hyperbole. The competition for likes and shares is causing many
e
to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Is the Wait Over?

By: Jason Reese
After months of delays‚ the government has finally unveiled its strategy to
reduce air pollution in the city. What has it proposed? A gradual shift away
from coal-fired power plants ‚ the eventual elimination of diesel vehicles ‚ and
modest tax breaks to help homeowners improve energy efficiency.
t
The benefits of each of these things are obvious. But let ’ s not be too quick to
celebrate. The government has yet to spell out precisely how it intends to pay
for many initiatives ‚ and the timelines for its most important projects span
e s
decades. What chance do plans of this sort stand of being implemented given
T
l e
the city ’s shifting political landscape? Let ’ s be honest: the city is kicking the can
p
down the road.
a m
Local nonprofit organizations‚ by contrast ‚ are taking action now: encouraging
S
people to carpool ‚ advertising electric cars ‚ and more. These groups need more
funding than they currently receive ‚ but the government would rather bluster
S
about long-term targets than form effective partnerships. This kind of approach
P
E
will leave residents choking on foul air for years to come.
T
34. Q: What is the main purpose of the article?
(a) To denounce the government’s air pollution initiative

(b) To show the impracticality of a ban on diesel vehicles
(c) To demand greater action from local environmental groups
(d) To criticize the amount of time taken to form a pollution plan
35. Q: Which statement would the speaker most likely agree with?
(a) The government has more pressing problems than air pollution.
(b) Local organizations are complicit in the city’s lack of effective action.
(c) Diesel cars are being wrongly blamed for the city’s pollution problem.
(d) The government is evading responsibility with its long-term timelines.
