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 from 30 to 38.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming.
Scientists have already observed shifts in the life cycles of many plants and animals, such as
flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun
shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.

With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountain sides
toward higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old
habitats grow too warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these
shifts. Species that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become
extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those found in polar and mountaintop
regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not possible. For example,
polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea ice but
have nowhere farther to go.

Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have
estimated that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius
degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely
important for plants and animals. Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain
types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.

Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global
warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged
will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional
warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also
increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean
waters. This acidification furter stresses ocean ecosystems.

Question 30: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to
_________ .

A.die instantly B. bloom earlie C.become lighter D. lose color

C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower
D. toward the poles and up mountain sides toward higher

Question 32: The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to .

A.species B. ecosystems C. habitats D. areas

Question 33: It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celsius
degrees, _________ .

A. half of the earth’s surface would be

B. the sea level would rise by 20
C. water supply would decrease by 50
D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become

temperatures, .

A. they may be endangered

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 from 38 to 42.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the
contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed
United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not
considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the
seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the
American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great
political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or
no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in
history books.Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the
efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male
counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were
uncritical in their selection and use of sources.During the nineteenth century, however, certain
feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were
engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings.
Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These
sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one
at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia
Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later
Generations of historians.Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women
during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great
women" theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great
men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life,
female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women
produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers,
activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the
great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the
American histories being published.
Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The place of American women in written histories
B. The "great women" approach to history used by American historians

Question 40: The word "representative" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______
A. satisfied B. typical C. distinctive D. supportive
Question 41: In the 2nd paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the

A. The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.
B. They were printed on poor-quality paper.
C. They left out discussion of the influence of money on politics.
D. They put too much emphasis on daily activities.
Question 42: What use was made of the nineteenth-century women's history materials in the
Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection?
A. They provided valuable information for twentieth- century historical researchers.
B. They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century.
